The CGT, Argentina's largest labor union, has called for a general strike against proposed labor reforms, resulting in a mixed response from the public transportation sector. While the Unión Tranviarios Automotor (UTA), a key transport union, has joined the strike, more than 70 bus lines continue to operate in Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires area. Most of these services are run by the DOTA company, which confirmed that several key routes remain active despite the strike.

In the early hours of the morning, during peak commuting hours, the number of passengers on the buses was noticeably low, even in central areas of the city. Public transport systems like the 106 bus on Avenida Corrientes and others along the 9 de Julio Metrobus were running, but they were not heavily utilized. This is indicative of a hesitant response from commuters, who may have opted to stay home or find alternative travel methods in light of the strike.

In contrast, at other major transport hubs, such as Puente La Noria in Greater Buenos Aires, there was a noticeable concentration of passengers, suggesting that while some are avoiding public transportation, others are still relying on it to commute. DOTA's confirmation of operational bus lines indicates an ongoing commitment to providing some level of service during labor actions, reflecting both the demands of commuters and the complexities of the labor situation in Argentina.
