Greater congestion is expected at platforms and trains due to the diversion of users during the 24-hour strike called by the Union of Automotive Tram Drivers (UTA). The Roca, Mitre, Sarmiento, San Martín, Belgrano Sur, and Urquiza railway lines will operate as usual, although users are advised to leave in advance to avoid possible delays.
Taxi and ride-sharing services will operate without restrictions, but higher demand is expected during the bus strike. Bike lanes present a good option for short and medium distances. It is also advisable to check real-time traffic status through apps like BA Cómo Llego, Google Maps, or Moovit, and to leave earlier with warm clothes, water, and a phone charger due to possible waits or changes in itinerary.
Regarding subway transportation, lines A, B, C, D, E, and H of the Buenos Aires subway will operate normally, as will the Premetro. Transport apps may show fare increases due to high demand, so planning trips with extra time is recommended.
Many people will choose to use private vehicles or carpool with colleagues or family, although heavy traffic is expected at city access points. Bicycle and electric scooter rental services will operate normally, but they will also have high occupancy.
In summary, in light of the 24-hour bus strike, users are advised to take precautions and reorganize their commutes to reach their work and daily obligations. Delays are likely due to increased demand for other forms of alternative transportation.
