On Instagram, they film themselves driving the metro

In a few hours, the video published more than 24 hours ago on Instagram and disappeared since, has been circulated by all RATP agents and has been decrypted by all those who have driven or are driving the metro. Even beyond. It must be said that it has something to stir up emotion. We see the two influencers - @ fukay1070 and @mr_boris_becker - instagramers with 769,000 subscribers for the first and 2.1 million for the second - enter a cockpit of a metro line 3 and press a button to start it. Surprised themselves to be able to do so, they continued their journey through several stations and even managed to get people on board. They then respond falsely to the radio before running off.

At first glance, the video is disturbing in reality. “When the metro is in automatic mode, you can press a button to make it move forward,” assures a first agent, decrypting the video. “The metro starts off green. When the guy talks on the radio, he doesn't push the button. So it all seems to be fake, ”analyzes another driver. Even if it is forbidden to get into the cockpit of a metro, and of course, to drive it. From Tuesday evening, the RATP also launched an investigation to understand what happened and in particular recovered the images from the CCTV cameras. We learn that the video was shot on November 8 at the end of passenger service. According to several union sources, we see the two young men, helped by a third person, who is the driver of the RATP.It was he who would have kept control of the metro. And it is only the video editing game that would give the impression that it is the two users who are driving the train.

The two Instagrammers explain it

This Wednesday noon, the day after the release of the video, and probably sorry for the proportions taken, @mr_boris_becker returned to the scenes of the film in an Instagram story.

He appears there with Fukay1070: “Yo yo guys, we made a video in the metro (…) In fact we weren't driving, it was a big show,” he explains to reassure everyone.

@ fukay1070 and @mr_boris_becker filmed a video where they pretend to be driving the metro.

But the RATP lodged a complaint.

“The driver was there and we were pretending to drive,” adds Fukay.

The two Instragrammers are great regulars of the videos.

The first in particular makes many in the metro, its corridors or on its platforms.

He sometimes stages himself annoying the users around him, more often dancing.

But the RATP did not find the joke very to its liking.

She claims to have lodged a complaint and recalls that "rail safety is a priority".

And she specifies that she “strongly condemns this type of behavior”.

The metro driver also risks a penalty.
