Lignes d'Azur strikes hit Nice transit again on two more dates

Unions disrupted the network again on Friday, August 14 and Monday, August 17, running affected lines on Sunday schedules, as the pay dispute BCN has followed since July continues without resolution.

Nice's Lignes d'Azur network faced further disruption last week, with unions calling strike action on both Friday, August 14 and Monday, August 17, the latest flare-ups in a pay dispute that has now run for over a month.

Lines 1, 2, 3, B, 5, 6, 7, 8+, 11, 12+, 14 through 21, 30, 32, 33, 35, 38, 57, 64, 70, 81, 98 and 99 all operated on reduced, Sunday-style schedules across both strike days, though line 15's first departure from Lycée Masséna was preserved at 6.30am to protect early morning travellers. Unions continue to cite a lack of dialogue over pay and working conditions as the source of the ongoing action, the same grievances behind the network's first strikes in mid-July.
