Travelling This Month?
Heads-up info for May travellers across our cities.
Tube strikes: 19–22 May
RMT members are striking on 19–20 and 21–22 May over working conditions. Severe disruption expected from midday on strike days — services may not resume until late afternoon. The Elizabeth line, DLR, Overground and buses run as normal. Check the TfL Go app before you travel.
Metro Line 3 partial closure until 12 May
Metro Line 3 is suspended between Gallieni and Gambetta through 12 May due to infrastructure works — replacement buses operate. TGV trains at Gare de Lyon are also suspended 30 April–3 May for signal modernisation. Metro lines 1 and 14 at the station run as normal.
Public transport strike expected 15 May
A 24-hour ATAC strike affecting buses, trams and metro in Rome is expected around 15 May. Guaranteed service bands (06:00–08:30 and 17:00–20:00) will operate. Check ATAC status updates before travelling.
Running smoothly — discounted fares continue
No strikes or major disruptions expected. The 50% discount on frequent-use tickets (T-Casual, T-Usual) continues through 2026 thanks to government subsidies. Beaches and terraces are opening up — a great time to visit by metro.
Zero-emission buses & smooth running
All city-centre buses now run on electricity as SL completes its green transition. No strikes or disruptions expected. Stockholm is at its most beautiful in May — long daylight hours and the Tunnelbana art stations are as stunning as ever.
Stable service after BVG deal
The BVG labour dispute was resolved in March with a 15% pay rise deal. No further strikes are announced. U-Bahn, trams and buses are running reliably. Minor elevator works at Frankfurter Allee and Osloer Straße wrap up 6 May.
