What disruptions to transport can be expected?

In the Île-de-France transport system, it is impossible to miss the RATP and SNCF employees in purple vests, who guide travelers during the Paralympic Games. More than thirty of them are permanently mobilized at the Gare du Nord. SNCF volunteers are often not used to welcoming customers, but their presence is greatly appreciated by visitors.We feel very welcome“, remarks an Australian tourist.

In the region, 300,000 additional travellers are expected each day during the Paralympic Games.There are many more international customers who are not used to travelling through the station.“, notes a volunteer SNCF employee. With the school year in full swing, welcoming these travelers represents a major challenge for the SNCF, while transport is already very busy. More teams and more trains will be put in place in the metro.
