Moving across the City of Buenos Aires and other major conurbations will be extremely difficult tomorrow as transport unions repeat the industrial action of March 30 which almost paralysed activity in the country. Other key services will also be affected in the 24-hour strike.
Some sectors are divided due to the fact one faction of the unionised workforce will adhere to the measure, and others no. Services will be affected regardless, as in the case of the Subway since the UTA union plans to strike and not all Metrodelegates.
– Buses: There will be no short, medium and long-distance bus or coach services anywhere in the country.
– Trains: The railway system will also be inactive due to the drivers’ strike.
– Subways: The B and D lines will close while the rest of the system will function, although journeys may be affected by the UTA stoppage. That union has pledged that tomorrow «there will be no subways».
– Fuel: There will be no transport of petroleum products, which could cause shortages at service stations.
– Supermarkets will not receive stocks.
– ATMs: While bank workers will not strike, the transport stoppage could affect cash availability in ATMs over the day.
– Refuse: In the City and Greater Buenos Aires there will be no refuse collection, although some district will use contingency plans to ensure a minimum service.
– Public administration: Severely limited services.
– Public hospitals: Emergency cases only.
– Courts: No activity.
– Ports: Closed due to the strike.
– Countryside: Rural workers to observe strike measures.
– Tolls: Workers at toll booths join the strike nationwide.
– Universities: Classes cancelled in some institutions due to a 48-hour strike carried out by the Conadu union.
– Schools: Certain unions will join strike, but all school will open for classes.
