Bus drivers in Rome to hold four-hour strike on Thursday
The walkout, which is scheduled to start at 8pm and end at midnight, will affect 39 lines operated by Atac, the city's main public transport company.
You can find a full list of the affected lines below:
023, 087, 089, 115, 128, 228, 23, 30, 34, 46 barrato, 49, 91, 98, 669, 670, 713, 719, 766, 773, 774, 775, 781, 786, 792, 870, 871, 881, 882, 904, 905, 906, 916, 980, 981, 983, M04, M30, M40, M50
Atac said in a statement on Wednesday that night services (linee notturne) scheduled to depart after midnight won't be affected by the protest.
The strike follows a series of attacks targeting bus drivers, according to Italian trade unions USB and Orsa.
'We don't want to wait until workers and passengers suffer physical harm from these serious attacks," unions said.
'Workers need to be sure they can go home safely at the end of their workday – no ifs or buts!'
According to online newspaper Roma Today, two Atac buses in the Magliana area, south of the city centre, were struck by stones last week, with the attacks resulting in shattered windows and door panels.
