LA RATP TESTE DES FACADES DE QUAI SUR UNE LIGNE DE METRO A CONDUITE MANUELLE

Les intrusions de voyageurs sur les voies du métro ont spectaculairement augmenté de
plus de 75 % depuis 10 ans et sont responsables de 60 % des retards.
La RATP estime que l’installation de façades de quai sur au moins 10 stations d’une ligne
de métro permettrait de traiter 60 % de ces irrégularités.
Un tel équipement devrait également permettre de renforcer nettement le sentiment de
sécurité en offrant, aux voyageurs sur les quais, un environnement protégé.
