You can't avoid it. October and November is the month for strikes. It's like Easter and comes every year. Today it's SNCF and RATP on strike. For what else? Pensions. On my way to work this morning I saw, more cars on the road. Longer lines and packed trains that ran every 10-15 minutes instead of the normal 2-5 during rush hour. All the velibs were taken. Lots of bike riders today. But what can you do? I was lucky to catch the train after waiting 15 minutes for one. Some of my coworkers haven't been lucky and had to stay home since transportation is a problem.
I was also told this is the reason Paris lost the bid for the Olympics. The committee came here and there was a strike. Off course, when they got to London things were operating smoothly as usual. That's 1 for the English.
