Efling and VR Unions’ strikes will affect several public bus routes in the capital area in April, RÚV reports. The strikes will not affect service for people with disabilities.
Capital area buses
The planned strikes will affect bus routes 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 24, 28, 35, and 36 in the capital area. Other Strætó routes in the capital area are not staffed by members of the unions and will therefore remain unaffected by the strike.
Between April 1 and May 1, there will be no bus service on the aforementioned routes between 7.00am and 9.00am or 4.00pm and 6.00pm, except on Saturdays and Sundays.
