A 24-hour public transport strike is scheduled to take place in Rome on Friday 8 February, leading to yet another venerdì nero for the capital's commuters.

Although the capital's public transport is guaranteed until 08.30 and from 17.00-20.00, there will be a much-reduced service during these peak periods.

The strike will affect the bus (city and suburban), tram, metro, and light-rail services serving Roma-Lido, Termini-Giardinetti and Rome-Viterbo.

The night bus service will also be at risk on the night between Thursday 7 and Friday 8 January.

The strike action has been called by various public transport trade unions over the restructuring of salaries, and takes place across Lazio.
