When to file a complaint with the Mediator?
To file a complaint with the RATP Mediator, you must first submit a written complaint to RATP Customer Service or the subsidiary concerned. If you are unhappy with the response you receive from Customer Service, or if you do not receive a response within a month, you may then file a complaint with the Mediator, within a period of up to one year from the date of the written complaint to RATP or its relevant subsidiary, or, in the particular case of violations, within two months of the date of the violation.
In what cases can you call on the Mediator?
- For all consumer-related disputes (for example, questions about provisions, the quality of service, and violations).
- For complaints arising from construction work, or even by the actual operation of transport services (noise or visual nuisances, for example).
The RATP Mediator
RATP and its public transport subsidiaries in France propose a company Mediator who is designated by a joint collegiate body comprised of representatives of certified national consumer associations and Group representatives. Following verification by the Consumer Mediation Evaluation and Control Commission, the Mediator is added to the European Commission’s list.
