France: Public transport workers to strike in Grenoble Jan. 3-5
Public transport workers to strike in Grenoble, France, Jan. 3-5. Transport disruptions likely.
Event
Public transport workers on Grenoble's TAG network plan to strike Jan. 3-5. The purpose of the action is to demand increased pay. Strikes will affect bus lines operated by Grindler/Keolis, including Proximo, Flexo, and Sacado lines. The strike is scheduled to end 21:00 Jan. 4 but disruption is likely to continue into Jan. 5. Related rallies are possible, with the most likely locations being outside TAG facilities and offices or in central squares.
The strike will prompt significant disruption to public transport services in Grenoble. TAG officials confirm that tram services will be suspended for the duration of the strike; many bus routes will end early at 20:00 each day. The action will likely result in increased traffic congestion and greater demand for alternative forms of transport.
Advice
Confirm public transport schedules and local traffic conditions before travel in Grenoble Jan. 3-5, and allow extra time to complete journeys. Make alternative travel arrangements if necessary. Avoid all gatherings as a routine security precaution.
