News monitoringMétro line 13 — Saint-Denis–Université / Asnières–Gennevilliers ↔ Châtillon–Montrouge
Line 13 is the most notoriously overcrowded line in Paris, with two northern branches merging at La Fourche. Under a strike-reduced timetable the merge point becomes the bottleneck and trains often arrive already full.
What a strike means on this line
Line 13 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.
