The Cabildo of Lanzarote and La Graciosa has established minimum services of 50% of scheduled trips on regular interurban public passenger transport due to the strike called for this Wednesday, November 11, guaranteeing a total of 288 trips throughout the day.

The measure aims to ensure mobility for users to get to their workplaces, educational centers, or medical appointments, while respecting the workers' right to strike. The work stoppage will take place from 00:00 to 24:00 hours.
The president of the Cabildo, Oswaldo Betancort, stated that public transport is an essential service and that necessary measures have been taken to guarantee minimum travel. For his part, the Minister of Transport and Mobility, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, explained that the minimum services have been distributed among different lines and time slots, considering operational criteria and user mobility needs to maintain the widest possible coverage.
The distribution of the 288 trips has taken into account mobility needs on different lines and schedules, as well as compliance with labor rest periods. The resolution also includes the possibility of incorporating reinforcement buses if trips reach maximum capacity and operational circumstances permit, although these vehicles will not count as new trips within the established minimum services.
The Cabildo reminds that the concessionaire company is responsible for informing users about the established minimum services and recommends consulting the planned schedules for Wednesday, given the possible alterations in the usual bus frequency.
