3800 bus drivers in Oslo and Viken go on strike. Getting to work on Monday will be an additional challenge for many.

Do not travel unless you have to, keep the recommended distance and use a mask as recommended by health authorities.

The Norwegian Public Roads Authority encourages people to work from home to avoid long traffic jams.

– It would be very nice if those who can do work from home would take this into account. Thanks to this, there will be less traffic on the roads, says traffic operator Anne Hårstad from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.

- We are used to rush hour and there is nothing we can do about it. People have to be patient, says Hårstad.

. Problematic

After the strike became a reality on Sunday night, many travelers had to change their travel plans.

With a new working week ahead, passengers buses may have trouble getting to work. Working at home is recommended.

Because the strike is legal, companies public transport they cannot increase the capacity of trains, metros, trams and boats. As a result, space on these modes of transport becomes narrower, making compliance more difficult infection control rules.

Only private transport to school.

The school buses have not left, unfortunately, and it is not known how long it will take.

Extension of the strike

The strike affected routes, such as Brakar and Østfold. However, bus stops may soon appear in other parts of the country. According to VG 8200 drivers across the country are ready to strike.

Increased fear of infection

City councilor Raymond Johansen (Labour) in Oslo is concerned about increased congestion and greater risks infection in the capital during the bus strike.

- There are all kinds of reasonsto fear that the strike may contribute to the intensification of infections. I am concerned about increased congestion and hope the strike will be short-lived.
