The 24 - hour national strike of local public transport has begun . It will therefore be a difficult day for those traveling in the city and in the metropolitan areas.

The protest was proclaimed by the grassroots union , Lavoroprivate, which will also organize a subsequent garrison in front of the Ministry of Transport in Rome on 3 March.

Buses, metro and trains stop from 8.30 to 17 and from 20 until the end of the service . The service is guaranteed only in the bands that include peak hours.

These are " mobilizations that want to claim the centrality of public transport and the role of workers in the sector, the main victims of savage privatizations, of the continuous recourse to contracts, subcontracts and subcontracting that fuel exploitation and precariousness", underlines the union.
