Public transport workers voice concerns

Employees of the public transport sector have raised concerns about the aging vehicle fleet, noting an increase in breakdowns leading to delays, bus immobilizations, and malfunctions in heating or air conditioning systems. These issues, they claim, negatively affect both their working conditions and passenger safety.

Workforce challenges highlighted

The workers also highlighted a shortage of mechanics to maintain the vehicles. Among their demands are reliable and safe vehicles, along with adequate human and material resources to fulfill their mission.

Working conditions and respect sought

They emphasized the need for better working conditions and more respect from passengers, pointing out that they provide transportation early in the morning, late at night, on weekends, and on holidays. The drivers also mentioned their lack of necessary equipment to check transport tickets.

Fraud and resource issues

They have criticized the insufficient number of control agents on the network. They argue that fraud deprives the network of essential resources for bus renewal and service quality.

Mobilization and discussions initiated

Following their mobilization, the organizers met with the prefect to discuss security issues and the condition of the buses.
