The Journey (itinerary) simulator<\/strong> of construction work on RER A is in English. The FAQ is also translated into English to respond to reader questions.

They responded that because a bus carries 70 passengers and the RER A can carry 2,600 passengers every three minutes, bus service is not feasible.<\/p>\n
