A national bus strike is looming in Latvia, scheduled for next Wednesday, September 16th. The Latvian Passenger Carriers Association (LPPA), working alongside passenger carriers, is organizing a one-day protest. Regional passenger carriers will cease operating bus services commissioned by the state, effectively halting public transport in many areas. The action, reported by LSM’s Latvian-language service, aims to highlight concerns within the passenger transport sector. Further details regarding the specific grievances prompting the strike have not yet been released. This disruption will significantly impact commuters relying on state-funded bus routes throughout Latvia. The LPPA hopes the protest will draw attention to their demands and prompt a resolution.
