The general strike of the CGT takes place this Thursday with broad compliance in different parts of the country. The greatest impact is felt in transportation but in the case of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (Amba) some companies announced that they will circulate with at least 50% of their fleet.
One of them is the Dota group, whose lines will provide a minimum service and also other firms such as line 71 SA and Company 216.

In a statement, the Dota group indicated that they will require their drivers to comply with 50% of the service. According to the company, this is due to the validity of DNU 70, which declares transportation as an “activity of transcendental importance.” However, that chapter of the decree of necessity and urgency is stopped by Justice.
“In the event that our staff decides to adhere to the force measure, we urge you to do so by safeguarding a reprogramming of the service diagrams that allows us to comply with said minimum benefits,” they noted.
The Dota group is in charge of 80 lines that cover 733 branches that circulate in the City of Buenos Aires and the Buenos Aires suburbs.

Due to the CGT strike there will be no trains, subways and most bus lines will not circulate in the AMBA and the rest of the country.
While the Dota group and other companies will provide a minimum service to avoid fines from the State, in accordance with resolution 212 of the Ministry of Economy:
6-7-8 (+EX 5)-9-20-21-23-24-25-26-28-31-44-50-51-56-61-62-74-76-78-79-80 -84-87-91-100 -101-106-107-108-111-114-115-117-122-127-129-130-132-134-135-143-145-146-150-161-164 -168-177-188-263A-271-277-283-299-370-373-384-385-388-40-421-435503 S. Vicente – 514 A. Brown – 520/523 Lanús – 570 Avellaneda + Empresa Yitos and LDZ Buses
With respect to transportation, the Automotive Tram Union (UTA) announced that it adheres to the CGT strike that will be held today. Bus services will not operate for 24 hours. The UTA measure applies to AMBA and all provinces in the country.
They threw stones at two buses on La Noria Bridge
Some units of the Dota bus company, which does not adhere to this Thursday’s general strike called by the union centers, suffered attacks with stones and also punctured tires.
Two complaints were received in the early hours of this Thursday in the Buenos Aires neighborhoods of Barracas and Liniers.
Responding to a call to 911, personnel from Neighborhood Police Station 4 D of the City Police went to the terminal of line 60 in Barracas due to the broken glass of the unit driven by a 44-year-old driver, after which they returned to the header. The driver was uninjured.
