Times of public transport strike in Italy on Friday vary from city to city.

Commuters in Milan and other cities across Italy face disruption to local public transport services on Friday 18 October due to a nationwide 24-hour strike.

The industrial dispute, called by the Si-Cobas trade union representing public transport workers, will affect bus, subway and tram services, with strike timetables varying from city to city.

In Milan ATM transport services will be disrupted from 08.45 to 16.30 and from 18.00 onwards, while Turin's GTT public transport company is expected to guarantee services on Friday between 06.00 and 09.00 and from midday until 15.00.

Rome's mobility agency on Tuesday stressed that, in relation to the strike action scheduled in Italian cities on Friday, the capital's public transport providers "have not received any proclamations of strikes from trade unions".

#Roma #viabilità In riferimento a notizie di sciopero generale nazionale proclamato per il prossimo 18 ottobre, l'Atac e gli operatori privati che gestiscono le linee periferiche comunicano di non aver ricevuto proclamazioni di agitazioni da parte di sigle sindacali.

Si-Cobas said the reasons for the nationwide dispute, which will not affect Trenitalia rail services, include demands for pay increases as well as "a freeze on military spending and the shipment of weapons to Ukraine" and "an end to the colonial occupation of Palestinian land.”

The industrial action is among a series of strikes affecting air travel, trains and local public transport in October.
