Rail and bus strikes disrupt Italy's public transport

Italian bus, train and tram operators went on strike
Friday with phased, four hour-long stoppages planned throughout the
country, according to DPA.
Buses and trams stopped operating in Rome at around 0630 GMT while
in Milan the strike began shortly afterwards.
Train drivers were also scheduled to go on strike with stoppages
planned at different times in different parts of Italy.
Italy's main transport unions called the strike over a series of
contractual disputes.
