Bus workers in Barcelona, Spain, will hold partial strikes starting on October 8; expect disruptions to bus services.

Bus workers from the Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) will hold partial strikes on October 8, 14, 15, 20, 22, 27, and 29. The strikes will be held from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Service during the strike hours is expected to be reduced to less than 40% of normal volumes. The strike is being held to pressure officials for better working hours and breaks for bus drivers. The exact turnout and location of the demonstrations are unknown. Severe disruptions and delays to bus service are expected during the strikes, and additional congestion may occur on the Barcelona metro systems as a result of limited bus availability.
