Madrid region: La Veloz interurban and urban bus strike on 28 and 29 September 2026
In 9 daysLast Updated:
Workers at La Veloz (Grupo Samar), which runs interurban bus lines from Madrid to the south-east of the region and the urban buses of Rivas-Vaciamadrid, are called to partial strikes on Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 September 2026 by the Sindicato Libre de Transportes (SLT).
Hours: stoppages of three hours per shift, 06:00–09:00 and 18:00–21:00 on both days — the morning and evening peaks. About 350 drivers and staff at the Villaverde and Rivas depots are covered. SLT has announced further dates through October, November and December if the dispute is not settled.
Why: rosters and work–life balance, staffing and driver fatigue, pay, fleet maintenance and safety, and the treatment of staff by management. A mediation meeting was held on 14 September at the Madrid regional mediation institute; no agreement has been announced.
This alert was originally created on 18 September 2026.
