The full story

Public transport workers in Genoa participated in a four-hour strike on November 9, 2026. The mobilization was called by the Cub Trasporti union and affected urban and provincial bus services as well as the Genoa-Casella railway replacement buses. According to the union, the action was organized to protest against a critical situation in local public transport, citing chronic staff shortages, deteriorating work shifts, poor vehicle maintenance, reduced service runs, and customer interactions that frequently escalated into assaults. Organizers also criticized an Amt recovery plan involving fare increases and a reduction in services, while pointing to a lack of clarity regarding the 2024 budget. Minimum service levels were maintained for passengers with disabilities and elderly commuters.
