September 10 strike: metro, RER, bus and streetcar disruptions in Paris and the Île-de-France region

The strike on September 10, 2025 will affect transport in the Paris region, with major disruptions on the SNCF network and some impact on the RATP. The "Bloquons tout" movement is mobilizing against the Bayrou government's 43.8 billion savings for 2025. We take a look at today's actual disruptions.

The September 10, 2025 strike hits public transport in the Paris region this Wednesday . While disruptions are concentrated mainly on SNCF lines managed by Transilien, some impacts will also affect certain RATP lines. We take a look at the detailed traffic forecasts to help you plan your journeys in the capital and the Paris region.

On the main lines, SNCF has not announced any strike action, but acts of malice and sabotage on various lines may lead to blockages and cancellations.

This nationwide social movement is protesting the Bayrou government's budget-saving measures, notably the abolition of two public holidays and the 43.8 billion euros in savings announced for 2026. The mobilization, organized via social networks by the"Bloquons tout" collective, is reminiscent in scale of the popular protest movements of recent years.

Note: following the protests at Châtelet, all stations at Châtelet Les Halles, Les Halles and Châtelet have been closed for security reasons, both metro and RER.

Paris metro: almost normal traffic this Wednesday

The Paris metro network should be operating normally this September 10. RATP has announced normal traffic levels on all 14 metro lines, including automated lines 1, 4, 6, 9, 11 and 14, which do not require drivers. Commuters can therefore rely on their usual lines to get around Paris.

RER: disruptions vary by line

RER traffic forecasts vary considerably according to line and operator:

RER line A will be running normally throughout its entire length, from Cergy/Poissy to Marne-la-Vallée/Boissy-Saint-Léger. This line, managed entirely by RATP, is not affected by the industrial action. Châtelet-les-Halles station has been closed for security reasons.
RER B is experiencing major disruptions, with traffic disrupted. Expect 1 train out of 2 on the northern part of the line and 2 trains out of 3 on the southern part. However, the interconnection at Gare du Nord will be maintained, enabling connections with other lines.
RER C traffic is severely disrupted, with only 1 in 2 trains running. This line, entirely managed by the SNCF, is one of those most affected by the union action.
According to SNCF forecasts, traffic on the RER D line is severely disrupted. This strategic line linking the north and south of the Paris region is particularly affected by the work stoppages.
Finally, RER E traffic is disrupted, with 2 out of 3 trains in service along its entire route.

Transilien: major disruptions on several lines

The Transilien network is experiencing major difficulties this Wednesday, with several levels of disruption:

Line H is experiencing severe traffic disruption, with only 1 in 3 trains running. This line, which serves the north of the Paris region from Gare du Nord, is particularly hard hit.
Line J traffic was disrupted, with 2 trains out of 3 in service. This link to the west of the Paris region from Gare Saint-Lazare maintains a reduced service.
Line K is experiencing severe traffic disruption, with only 1 train out of 2 in service. Commuters on this line from Paris-Nord to Crépy-en-Valois can expect long delays.
Line L is experiencing disrupted traffic, with 2 out of 3 trains running from Gare Saint-Lazare to Cergy and Versailles.
Line N is experiencing severe traffic disruption, with 1 train out of 2 in service. This line, which serves the south-west of the Paris region from Gare Montparnasse, is significantly impacted.
Line P experienced slightly disrupted traffic, with 2 out of 3 trains in service, offering a more reliable alternative for journeys to the east of the Paris region.
According to SNCF announcements, traffic on line R is severely disrupted. This line linking Gare de Lyon to Montargis is one of the worst affected by the industrial action.
Finally, traffic on line U is severely disrupted, with 1 in 2 trains in service on this section serving La Défense.

Buses and streetcars: a more favorable situation

The surface transport network is enjoying a better situation this Wednesday:

RATP buses: traffic is almost normal, with an average of 9 buses out of 10 running across the entire Paris region network, providing a reliable alternative for local journeys. Note, however, that some blockages are disrupting traffic. An RATP bus center in the 18th arrondissement was blocked by strikers before the police intervened.
Noctilien: normal service for night-time journeys.
Tramways: normal traffic announced on all lines T1 to T13. These surface lines are an excellent alternative for getting around the inner suburbs of Paris. However, blockages may cause disruption. At Porte de Montreuil (19th arrondissement), traffic on tramway T3b was interrupted between Porte de Bagnolet and Porte de Vincennes.

How to get real-time information?

There are a number of tools available to help you keep track of traffic throughout the strike day. TheBonjour RATP application provides real-time information on traffic conditions and the best alternative routes. The SNCF Connect website provides up-to-date timetables for trains in operation.

The official websites of RATP and Transilien provide regular line-by-line traffic updates. These platforms remain the benchmarks for obtaining the most reliable information before you travel.

What are the alternatives for getting around?

Faced with the announced disruptions, Parisians have several options. For those who can, telecommuting remains the preferred option. Île-de-France boasts over 8,700 km of cycle paths, providing a credible alternative for local journeys.

The Bonjour RATP application, a partner of Dott, Lime and Vélib', enables users to locate and rent over 35,000 self-service bikes and scooters in the region. Automated metro lines are generally less affected than other lines requiring rolling stock.

The strike on September 10 is part of a tense social sequence that will continue on September 18 with a unified union call-out at RATP. These two dates reflect a deep-seated dissatisfaction with the government's budgetary policies, against a backdrop of strong social mobilization in the autumn of 2025.
