Tuesday, October 5, traffic is likely to be disrupted in Nice. The “Lignes d’Azur” network has announced participation in a national strike movement.
Philippe Martinez, the general secretary of the CGT, has called for a national strike. The target: the unemployment insurance reform that came into effect on October 1. It is expected to result in a reduction of benefits by nearly 20%.
The demands include the revaluation of wages and the return to a pay-as-you-go pension system. High school students will also be involved, this time to protest against the baccalaureate reform.
The pass, rising prices, declining purchasing power, wages, the unemployment reform, and the pension reform… the French have never had so many reasons to be in the streets tomorrow #greve5octobre #Manifs5octobre pic.twitter.com/c6Xyv0DMZi

Since unity is strength, whether it’s about the education sector or transport, everyone is mobilizing at Place Massena at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, October 5 to voice their concerns regarding their conditions.
In this context, traffic is likely to be affected by the strike. A large portion of buses, trams, and trains will be inactive. However, some buses will still be in service, and they are listed on the Lignes d’Azur website.
145 gatherings are expected to take place across the entire territory.
To alleviate the difficulty for users to get around on this Tuesday, October 5, the city of Nice has implemented free street parking for the entire day of the strike.
