Le Figaro Nice

Fateful week.

The pension reform bill will be put to the vote on Thursday in the Senate and the National Assembly.

The protest does not weaken.

On the ground, the actions of the unions continue, always with the idea of

​​"putting France to a halt"

.

In the Alpes-Maritimes and in Nice, the situation remains complicated on the rails.

In the air, traffic is back to normal

On the other hand, the Zou! regional bus network is back in service after two weeks of strikes.

An agreement was reached with the management on Friday March 10.

Line traffic is back to normal.

The tramway runs normally in Nice

Traffic is - for the moment - not disturbed on these rails.

The three lines of the Nice tramway run normally on Monday and Tuesday.

For the day of mobilization scheduled for Wednesday, a strike is possible on the side of the employees of the manager Lignes d'Azur.

During previous movements, none of the tram lines were working.

Ditto for the bus network, almost entirely at a standstill.

It is nothing for the moment.

On Saturday, the Nice procession gathered 8,000 people according to the CGT, 2,300 according to the Alpes-Maritimes prefecture.

The tram was not on strike but only disturbed by the passage of the demonstrators at the level of the Place de la Liberation.

Few TER

On the TER side, on the other hand, traffic is still very disrupted.

Widely used on the Côte d'Azur and as far away as Marseille, they have experienced many cancellations.

The disturbances are in the continuity of the previous ones.

"The circulation of trains will be severely disrupted throughout the region"

, underlines the SNCF for the days of Monday and Tuesday.

The average remains at one train in five for the TGV Inoui and Ouigo, as well as for the TER.

More specifically, traffic on the Les Arcs-Vintimille line is impacted with many trains canceled in the morning and a few in the evening.

TGV and Intercités passengers concerned by the cancellation of their train will be contacted by email or SMS in order to exchange their ticket free of charge for another train as far as possible or to cancel their ticket on the SNCF sites and applications with full refund.

Back to normal at Nice airport

After a few days of turbulence due to the strike, with consequent delays and flight cancellations, traffic is back to normal.

This weekend, the EasyJet line to Paris was particularly disrupted.

This morning, the planes of the British low-cost company took off for the capital.

"For the moment, no reduction in flight schedules has been requested, neither for Monday nor for Tuesday"

, specifies the airport, which experienced a 30% reduction last week.

Regularly updated, the situation can be followed on nice.aeroport.fr or directly with the airlines.

Regarding the climatic conditions, which could disrupt flights, the department is no longer on orange alert because of the strong winds.

Last Friday, an Air France plane tried to land twice on the tarmac in Nice, in vain, because of the gusts.

He had to land in Montpellier.
