France: Paris transport strike disrupts subway, trains to suburbs
PARIS (AP) — Paris commuters faced disruptions as public transport workers went on strike Friday to protest what they say was an insufficient salary increase proposal by the state-owned transport company RATP amid rising inflation.
Most subway lines in the Paris area and train services linking the capital with the suburbs were shut down during rush hours. Driverless trains that were in service had been packed with people rushing to reach work and children’s schools on time.
