News monitoringMétro line 4 — Porte de Clignancourt ↔ Bagneux–Lucie Aubrac
Line 4 became fully driverless at the end of 2022 and is now one of the most strike-resistant ways to cross Paris north to south — it links Gare du Nord, Châtelet and Montparnasse without a driver on board.
What a strike means on this line
Because line 4 is driverless, it usually keeps running during RATP strikes — but station staff walkouts can still close entrances, and connecting lines may not be running.
Main stations served
- Porte de Clignancourt
- Gare du Nord
- Gare de l'Est
- Châtelet
- Saint-Michel
- Odéon
- Montparnasse–Bienvenüe
- Porte d'Orléans
- Bagneux–Lucie Aubrac
Alternatives during a strike
- RER B — Same corridor, faster, but SNCF/RATP strikes hit it hard — check RER B status first.
- Line 14 — Also automated; connect at Châtelet or Gare de Lyon for the eastern side of the city.
- Bus 38 — Gare du Nord to Porte d'Orléans via Châtelet — the surface version of line 4.
