The urban transport sector is facing an “unprecedented shortage” of drivers. In Lyon, the public transport network is no exception to the rule. There are 300 drivers missing, says Keolis, the network manager. This problem, “combined with that of absenteeism”, forced the delegate to recalibrate its transport offer.
From this Monday, it will drop from 4 to 8.6% on the network, and this until the end of the year. The bus lines are the main ones concerned. Forty of them will see their frequency reduced while the S11 line will no longer run.
On the other hand, the frequency of lines B and D of the metro, which are now automated, will be increased.
