November 29 Limited Transit Strike

 

Several transport companies including Autolinee Toscana have announced a four hour strike on Friday, November 29.  Regional trains are not affected.

AT buses will not run between 9 am and 1 pm. The tram system will come to a total halt between 9:30 am and 1 pm. There may still be disruptions throughout service.

Public transit employees also originally planned to strike from 3:30 to midnight, but have been prevented from doing so thanks a last-minute decree by Transportation Minister Matteo Salvini.

The strike has been called in order to demand for wage increases, a reduction in working hours as well as updated health and safety procedures in the workplace.  A demonstration of workers will take place beginning at 9:30 am from Piazza Santa Maria Novella.
