Bus Companies to Strike Over Red Light Camera System

Bus workers have announced a work stoppage for Friday, March 27, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, in protest of the problems caused by the red light camera system for professional drivers. Repeated attempts and warnings have been made to the Ministry of Transport without a substantial response. Employees suggest installing warning systems for red lights to avoid sudden braking, which endangers passenger safety, given the size of the buses and the lack of seatbelts for all passengers. They apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to the public and the announcement is signed by the trade unions OMEPEGE SEK and SEGDAMELIN PEO.
