Metrovalencia and TRAM de Alicante have established minimum services of 75% and 80%, respectively, for the train driver strikes called by the Spanish Railway Drivers' Union (SEMAF) during April.

The strikes, which resume this Thursday, April 16, will affect various time slots and will be repeated on April 21, 23, 28, and 30. These mobilizations follow the strike held during the Fallas festival.
The hours of greatest impact will be between 07:00 and 10:00, between 13:00 and 16:00, and between 19:00 and 21:00. During these periods, Metrovalencia will guarantee 75% of its services on all metro and tram lines.
For its part, TRAM de Alicante has announced that for this Thursday's strike, minimum services will be 80% on all its lines. For the remaining four days in April, guaranteed minimum services will be 75%.

"The union has called these strikes due to the drivers' discontent with the company's inaction regarding operational safety proposals and the blocking of professional improvements in the negotiation of the XIV Collective Bargaining Agreement."
