News monitoringMétro line 2 — Porte Dauphine ↔ Nation
Line 2 is driver-operated and runs elevated between Barbès and Jaurès, so a strike here usually means long gaps rather than a full closure — but the northern viaduct section is the first to be thinned out when staffing is short.
What a strike means on this line
Line 2 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.
Main stations served
- Porte Dauphine
- Charles de Gaulle–Étoile
- Place de Clichy
- Pigalle
- Barbès–Rochechouart
- Stalingrad
- Belleville
- Père Lachaise
- Nation
Alternatives during a strike
- Line 6 — The southern half of the same circle — Étoile to Nation via Montparnasse.
- Bus 30 — Trocadéro to Gare de l'Est, shadowing line 2 across the northern arc.
- Walk Pigalle–Barbès — Twelve minutes on foot; often faster than waiting for a reduced-service train.
