🇫🇷 Paris shuts down 40 metro stations ahead of cost-of-living protest
On police orders, Paris transport operator RATP has closed 40 metro stations on Saturday, from the Champs-Élysées to Bastille, including République, Châtelet, Opéra, the area around the National Assembly and the Left Bank.
Vélib' bike-share services are also suspended, train stations are under heightened security, and curfews are in effect in Paris and the inner suburbs.
This is the third straight Saturday of protests over the cost of living, with the Yellow Vests calling it "Act III." A Paris court on Friday overturned the police ban and authorized the unions' march from Place de la Bastille.
