N2 - In 1970, the rebellion of the “banlieusards”
– suburban commuters in the Paris region
– was sparked by an increase in the price
of metro tickets. The movement ultimately
succeeded in reversing an attempt by the
Chaban-Delmas-led government to make
public transportation users pay a greater
proportion of the costs. The transportation
users movement was responsible for such
significant developments as the creation of
the “carte orange” (an unlimited
transportation pass) and the
reintroduction of trams. This article
explains the origins of the 1970
movement by drawing on Edward P.
Thompson’s concept of moral economy.
How was this movement linked to a
gender- and class-differentiated
‘transportation crisis’ created by urban
sprawl and far-flung suburbs?
