A nationwide public transport strike combined with extreme heat is expected to cause significant travel disruptions across the Netherlands tomorrow. Train and bus travelers should anticipate delays and cancellations throughout the day, with no NS trains running between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM, except for some airport services. The strike, organized by unions FNV and CNV, protests government plans to cut social security benefits. High temperatures are also forcing reduced train services, particularly for double-decker trains susceptible to heat-related issues. Transport companies Connexxion, GVB, RET, and Arriva have warned passengers to expect ongoing disruptions even after the strike ends, with potential delays lasting until 9:00 AM or later. The ANWB (Dutch Automobile Association) anticipates increased road traffic as commuters opt for private vehicles.
