Argentina: Protest in Buenos Aires likely to disrupt train services Aug. 10

Event

A protest in the Avellaneda area of Greater Buenos Aires will likely cause disruptions to train services in the area on Aug. 10. Participants will gather from 12:30 at the Dario Santillan y Maximiliano Kosteki Station and plan to suspend all Roca line services to make labor-related demands. The duration of the protest remains unclear.

Significant disruptions to train 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.
