Argentina: Protesters disrupt bus services in Tucuman early July 6

Event

Bus drivers from multiple companies are staging an unannounced work stoppage and protest in Tucuman early July 6. The action is not supported by any union and has caused disruptions to several bus lines in the city as protesters have been preventing buses from leaving the warehouse. Lines 6, 8, 9, 10, 17, 19, 106, 109, 110, 122, 125, 141, 142, El Tandilense, and La Nueva Fournier are not operating as of writing, while several other services are experiencing delays.

Significant disruptions to bus travel are likely. Alternative modes of transportation will probably be in higher demand. Traffic congestion could be heavier as commuters who generally use public transportation resort to using personal vehicles. Clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Confirm all public transport schedules. Check local media sources for up-to-date information on the status of public transportation. Allow extra time to reach destinations and consider alternative transport options to mitigate travel disruptions.
