According to Diario de Sevilla, Seville's Metro line 1 will operate at 60% of its usual capacity during Wednesday's general strike, the first general strike in the city in 14 years and the first held while Pedro Sánchez is prime minister of Spain. The minimum service levels were set by the Junta de Andalucía and the Seville City Council, and they mainly affect mobility.
What passengers can expect on the Metro
The 60% level is the same as in previous strike calls. The newspaper warns that the frequency of trains may be altered, so passengers should allow extra time for their journeys on line 1.
Buses and other municipal services
Tussam, the municipal bus operator, will also run its usual bus service at 60%. The works council delegation of CCOO at Tussam has said it disagrees with this percentage and believes it should be lower in some time slots, according to the report.
For the municipal waste collection company Lipasam, municipal sources told the newspaper that 13% of staff assigned to the three shifts will work on the day. At Mercasevilla, the food distribution centre, minimum services agreed with the three unions will be 32%.
Water services
For Emasesa, the metropolitan water company, a minimum services plan will guarantee water supply and sanitation. According to Diario de Sevilla, the company will have at least five intervention teams to deal with breakdowns and incidents affecting essential services, plus four planning posts spread across the shifts.
The plan can be adjusted to exceptional conditions. The newspaper notes that an orange weather alert was in force for Wednesday, and that extra sanitation resources could be deployed if rain forecasts required a greater response capacity.
