Romagna: Start Romagna bus strike on Friday 9 October 2026 (24 hours, after an assault on a driver)

The five unions at Start Romagna — FILT-CGIL, FIT-CISL, FAISA-CISAL, UGL Autoferro and USB Lavoro Privato — have called a 24-hour strike on Friday 9 October 2026 across the company's bus network in the provinces of Rimini, Forlì-Cesena and Ravenna, covering both urban and regional routes.

What to expect: cancellations across the network throughout the day. The strike was called under the rule that allows an immediate strike after events that endanger workers' safety, so it was registered with the transport ministry only on 6 October. Check Start Romagna's website or app for the services that will run.

Why: on Sunday 5 October a driver on Rimini's line 9 was assaulted and injured. The unions say attacks on drivers keep happening and that many buses still have no protective barrier around the driver's cab.
