“Following the blocking of the depot by the union organizations, traffic will remain interrupted until the end of the service. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.” Since Thursday, November 7, this message has invariably appeared on the Cergy Pontoise Confluence X account.

This Tuesday, November 12, the Cergy-Pontoise Confluence bus network, 32 lines which serve the urban area and Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, is still paralyzed by the strike. No buses run.

At Fo's call, a social movement affects the network managed by Francilité Seine et Oise, a subsidiary of Lacroix and Savac, on behalf of Ile-de-France Mobilités. A strike massively followed by drivers who denounce a deterioration in their working conditions since September and the takeover by Fso after fifty years of operation by Stivo (Société de transports interurbans du Val-d'Oise).

Since the start of the school year, the Cergypontain bus network has suffered a number of dysfunctions between cascading deletions, an avalanche of delays and a headache-inducing new numbering. To the great dismay of its approximately 80,000 daily users. Faced with this strike of “unprecedented scale”, Pontoise town hall has set up a minimum free bus service since Tuesday, November 12 between Pontoise hospital and Cergy Préfecture station via Pontoise station. At the end of last week, Fso indicated that it had “heard the demands of some of the employees” and was “studying ways to improve working conditions”.
