Argentina: National bus driver strike planned July 18-19 /update 2

Event

The bus drivers' union UVA is planning to hold a 48-hour strike on Thursday, July 18, and Friday, July 19, across the country. The work stoppage is expected to affect service on urban, interurban, and medium distance bus routes. However, it is unclear whether the strike will affect Buenos Aires city and province; a related strike the previous week was not observed in the capital. Generally, transportation disruptions, including bus service disruptions and increased demand for taxis and other modes of transportation, are likely during the strike period. 

Advice

Individuals in Argentina, including Buenos Aires, are advised to monitor the situation and anticipate public transportation disruptions.
