Argentina: Bus drivers plan to demonstrate at San Justo Roundabout, Buenos Aires Province, May 3

Event

Bus drivers from several lines operating in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area plan to demonstrate at the San Justo Roundabout from 09:00 May 3. The action is to protest violent crimes against bus drivers and demand justice for the murders of three of their colleagues. Hundreds of drivers could participate in the gathering.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely through the afternoon of May 3. Bus services operating between La Matanza and Buenos Aires will probably experience reduced capacity during the demonstration. Increased demand for alternative transport, including private car use, is likely. Clashes between protesters and security forces are possible.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to possible clashes. Reconfirm transport arrangements and allow additional travel time to reach destinations.
