Incident Details

Due to failed negotiations between the Union of Road Workers and transit employers, bus drivers across Rio de Janeiro will strike indefinitely, beginning on June 29.  The strike is expected to affect thousands of people, including residents and tourists, and alternative modes of transportation will likely become more sought after.
