News monitoringMétro line 12 — Aubervilliers–Front Populaire ↔ Mairie d'Issy
Line 12 serves Abbesses, the deepest station on the network at 36 metres, and links Montmartre to Montparnasse. When it is on strike, the Abbesses lift closure matters as much as the train frequency.
What a strike means on this line
Line 12 is driver-operated, so an RATP strike directly reduces its service. Expect a peak-hours-only timetable, longer waits and packed trains, or a partial closure of the outer sections.
