The bus strike significantly slows down regional traffic in Lahti, but many routes are still running.

Twenty bus lines will not run, but many will not be affected by the strike.

The strike for bus transport workers has started. The strike has a wide impact on local traffic in Lahti.

At least 20 local transport routes will not run entirely in the Lahti regional transport, or LSL, area.

These lines are not run:

1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 24, 42, 51, 52, 55, 56, 57, 58

*With the exception of many lines 1K, 1S, 4H and 4V, which are run.*

Lines that will be operated during the strike:

3, 7, 9, 10, 13, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 60, 61, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 98, Lahti-Lammi-Hämeenlinna (802 and 890), Lempi service.

*The strike may also have effects on these.*

Exact information about canceled and running trains can be found on the Lahti region’s traffic website in the disruption notices.

The strike concerns the staff of Koivisto Auto. Lehtimäki transport, Reissu Ruoti and Pekola transport are not on the strike list announced by AKT.

Last night, the car and transport industry workers union rejected the settlement proposal of the bus industry and maintenance workshops. The strike will last until Friday of next week or until an agreement is reached.

The strike also affects long-distance bus routes.

There may also be shift changes in train traffic, says VR. Today, the ban on overtime and shift changes for locomotive operators comes into effect.

The railway industry’s collective bargaining will continue in the morning. The strike that stops the trains would start on Monday if no agreement is reached.
