The City of Paris remains true to its reputation. A minor snow episode causes the entire city to stop, with no RATP buses running.
The importance of being consistent. Even in failure. The City of Paris, led by the paragon of virtue Anne Hidalgo, has once again demonstrated its mastery of events. While a slight snow episode has been forecast for a week, the capital of France, the world’s leading destination, is at a standstill.
On this Thursday, January 18, 2024, no RATP buses are able to operate, as the road network has not been sufficiently salted by the City of Paris’s Public Works services.
The RAPT website is overwhelmed, and many pages are returning errors. On the page providing information about bus services, the answers are invariably the same: Service not provided.
Mobiwisy positions itself as a defender of public transportation and energy transition. Faced with such a fiasco, which will neither prompt apologies nor sanctions for those responsible, one can only condemn gross amateurism at a time when Francilians are being urged to abandon their cars. Not to mention the explosion in transportation fares ahead of the Olympic Games.
In other words, if you are a resident of Île-de-France and relying on public transport in 2024 to get to work, as is constantly repeated to you, then stay at home. And if your job does not allow for remote work, which is the case for 80% of the population, then you will be forced to take a day off.
