Overview
- The stoppage began at midnight Friday and affected services run by MOQSA, MOGSM, San Juan Bautista, El Nuevo Halcón and Empresa 216 across the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
- After wages were credited, Empresa 216 was reported as the first operator to lift the action and some of its lines returned to normal service.
- National authorities issued formal notices ordering companies to restore operations immediately and warned of economic penalties for absent service.
- MOQSA and MOGSM said their routes remain suspended until further notice, leaving major south and west corridors without buses for thousands of commuters.
- The dispute follows a late‑January agreement for a 4% raise in three tranches, with workers citing recurring non‑payment by the legal fourth business day and commuters shifting to trains and other alternatives.
