A series of warning strikes in local transport have disrupted services across the cities of Regensburg, Passau, and Landshut in Germany. Approximately 100 bus drivers in Regensburg participated in the temporary strike, as announced by a spokesperson from the Verdi union. The strike is expected to last throughout the day, significantly affecting the availability of public transportation.

Affected transport companies have issued alerts on their websites advising passengers that, aside from a few lines operated by private contractors, no buses will be running. This has led to frustrations among commuters, who are being urged to consider alternative means of transport. Notably, adverse winter weather conditions are further complicating road travel for those who choose to drive.

It is important to note that regional bus services are not affected by this particular warning strike, allowing some level of connectivity for passengers within the affected areas. Overall, this industrial action highlights ongoing tensions within the local transport sector, as unions seek to advocate for better working conditions and pay for employees in public transit.
