This is coming just eight months to the 2024 Summer Olympics billed for Paris.

“The state urgently needs to put an action plan in place against this scourge as France is preparing to welcome the Olympic and Paralympic games in 2024,” the capital’s deputy mayor, Emmanuel Gregoire, said in a letter to Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne this week, according to Reuters.
Transport Minister Clement Beaune said over the weekend he will discuss the issue with transport operators next week, the report added.
