Ile-de-France will be checked “between 6.30 am and 9.30 am”, and “in the evening between 4 pm and 7 pm”, assured the president of the region on Friday
Valérie Pécresse (ex-LR). The controls will be carried out “in large stations” but “outside of these time slots, transport that will not be saturated are obviously open to all”, added Valérie Pécresse, who also chairs Ile-de-France mobilités, in France 2.
Besides, “there will be a tolerance in the first days, the objective is not verbalization but to give priority to those who absolutely need public transport, those who go to work”, she specified.

“Hundreds of kilometers of temporary tracks”
“We need to succeed in this deconfinement all together” and “it will be very complicated in Ile-de-France” where there is a Public transportation “bottleneck”, in which “could start the epidemic again,” she said. This is why “all those who telework must continue to do so,” she said, again calling on others to stagger their arrival times or to use alternative modes of transportation such as carpooling or cycling. .
Even if “hundreds of kilometers of temporary tracks” will be labeled, Ms. Pécresse wanted them to “be evaluated at the end of the transitional period” because “there should not be have massive traffic jams because some would have been badly positioned ”.
Beyond deconfinement “the real subject of this end of the crisis is going to be mass unemployment and poverty which will affect all regions of France”, and “talk about extending working hours in a period where all people go looking for it is a little awkward, ”she said. But “from this crisis may arise new habits, a new organization of work and if this is the case, perhaps this crisis will have been a benefit for the quality of life in Ile-de-France”, she said. said.
