The bus strike called by the Union of Automotive Tranviarios (UTA) extends throughout the day this Tuesday, May 6, and ends at 00 on Wednesday. More than 300 lines of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA) are affected by this measure, after a new round of collective bargaining between the union, the business chambers, and the national government failed.

Despite the national strike, some companies like DOTA, Metropol, and Misión Buenos Aires do not adhere to the measure and several lines continue to operate normally this Tuesday. DOTA maintains operational lines such as 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 28, 31, 44, 50, 51, 56, 57, 60, 74, 76, 78, 79, 84, 87, 91, 99, 100, 101, 106, 107, 108, 115, 117, 130, 134, 135, 146, 150, 161, 164, 168, 177, and 188, in addition to numerous lines in the suburbs.
