Strike-monitoring platform Strike Tracker revised its France dashboard at 08:00 CET on 12 October, listing three concurrent walkouts: the open-ended CGT-RATP strike paralysing sections of the Paris metro and RER since 28 September, an Air Corsica pilots’ stoppage running until 16 October, and a fresh notice covering Grenoble’s tram and bus network starting today. Additional actions are queued for Lyon buses (15 October) and the nationwide airline-crew strike (17–21 October). For employers the Paris RATP dispute is the most disruptive. Service diagrams published overnight show only automated lines 1 and 14 running normally; other metro lines offer 30 % of usual frequency outside peak hours, while buses operate “according to staff availability.” The Île-de-France region has activated its tele-travail (remote-work) advisory for non-essential staff, and many multinationals with La Défense headquarters have reinstated staggered-hours policies last used during the 2024 pension protests. Air Corsica’s strike, though classified as “minor,” affects essential feeder services between Marseille/Nice and the island capitals—a headache for oil-and-gas engineers commuting to offshore bases. Clients report fare spikes on remaining seats and scramble for last-minute charters. Looking ahead, Lyon’s TCL bus strike will coincide with opening day of the city’s SmartCity Expo, and the five-day airline walkout hits the first weekend of school holidays. Mobility leads should integrate Strike Tracker’s iCal feed into duty-of-care dashboards and pre-approve taxi or hotel spends where public transport resilience is low.
