This disruption adds to the line of malfunctions recorded in recent months. The European metropolis of Lille estimated that 300,000 regular users had suffered from the disruptions between September and December 2024. Metropolitan elected officials will vote this Friday, February 28, on a resolution to return nearly 4 million euros to network users via special commercial offers.
