Public transport on rail will be deconfigured at two speeds. There will be Île-de-France and the rest. Secretary of State for Transport Jean-Baptiste Djebbari said this Sunday on BFMTV that the employer certificate to take Ile-de-France transport would remain compulsory "at least until June 22". Or after the entry into force on Tuesday of a new phase of deconfinement in the region.
This certificate is valid for any trip between 6.30 a.m. and 9.30 a.m., then between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Regarding accessibility to the metro, "we have 62 closed metro stations, it will certainly be a little less" soon, he said without giving a precise figure.
In addition, the organization of holidays is becoming more precise. The Secretary of State for Transport thus assured that "100% of the SNCF offer" would be marketed from "mid-June".
"We remove the restriction of one seat out of two" in the TGV, which had been imposed on the SNCF in order to respect the rules of distance, said Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, asking the public operator to "control its prices " during summer.
This restriction, while no such constraint was imposed by plane, made the SNCF cringe, especially with regard to TGV, the only trains on which it usually makes profits.
"We will continue to have very important health measures"
The transport company needs an occupancy rate of at least 60% - up to 80% in Ouigo - so as not to lose money. "What we anticipate is that we will probably have 100% of the supply and 50% of the attendance in mid-June," said the secretary of state.

"We will continue to have very important health measures" in public transport, including the obligation to wear the mask, he added. Regarding Ile-de-France, a region which remains in the “orange” zone, standardization will be a little more gradual.
