On August 5, 2025, Paris Metro Line 14 faced significant disruptions as part of a planned maintenance schedule, affecting travel between Paris Orly Airport and the city center. The disruption began on August 4 and is set to continue through August 8, with no service running during this period. Île-de-France Mobilités announced the closure to facilitate essential upgrades, impacting an estimated 300,000 daily commuters. To accommodate travelers, alternative transportation options have been implemented, including additional RER B and C trains, as well as shuttle buses operating every 10 minutes along the affected route. The agency reported that 15 extra buses and 10 additional train cars have been deployed to manage the increased demand. Travel time for affected passengers may increase by approximately 30 minutes, with specific stops like Saint-Lazare and Châtelet-Les Halles seeing heightened traffic. The maintenance is part of a broader effort to improve the line’s reliability ahead of future peak travel seasons, with completion expected by August 9. Local authorities have provided updated timetables and real-time traffic updates through official channels, ensuring commuters can plan their journeys effectively.
