The Ile-de-France region surrounding Paris will be worst hit by nationwide strikes against pension reform on Thursday as Parisian transport workers – who face losing their special retirement privileges – prepare to take up the call by unions for a “zero transport day”.
RATP metro operators in Paris say three lines will be completely closed (8, 10, 11), while 10 others will only function during rush hours or be "partially operated". Only the driverless lines 1 and 14 will circulate normally.
