Paris Bus Driver Suspended for Intimidating Cyclist in Viral Video

The RATP has launched a disciplinary procedure against the driver after a video showed him closely following and honking at a cyclist.

The incident occurred in the Gare du Nord area, where the driver filmed himself following a cyclist too closely and using the bus horn repeatedly.
The video, shared on TikTok, drew widespread condemnation and highlighted ongoing tensions between road users in Paris.
The RATP described the behavior as 'unacceptable' and emphasized the need for exemplary conduct from its employees.
Public reaction was intensified by the recent death of a young cyclist in Paris, which has heightened sensitivity to road safety issues.
Paris officials, including the deputy mayor for mobility, called for strict disciplinary action to prevent similar incidents in the future.
