'No trams or buses': Nice public transport halted for strike
Briefly

Public transport in Nice will cease operations on Thursday due to a strike organized by the CGT union, aiming to demand higher wages and the repeal of the controversial pension reform that raised the retirement age. This shutdown comes at an inconvenient time just before Nice plans to offer free public transport from June 6-8 and is poised to host the UN Ocean Conference from June 9-13. The strike may also coincide with protests in the city, reflecting broader national discontent.
Public transport workers in Nice filed a strike notice for Thursday, as part of a cross-sector, national strike called by the CGT union, in hopes of pushing for higher wages.
The day of industrial action comes just before Nice is set to offer free public transport operation from June 6th to 8th, and will host the United Nations Ocean Conference.
