Buses, trolleybuses, trams, subways and railways Rome-Lido, Termini-Centocelle and Rome-Civitacastellana-Viterbo will be at risk.

All Atac services will stop on Monday 24 February from 08:30 to 17:00 and from 20:00 at the end of the service. From the start of the strike, from 08:30 and 20:00 to the end of the service, no useful departure from the terminus or terminal stations must be made.

There will be no change to bus services provided by Roma TPL and Cotral, in the suburbs. Train services operated by Ferrovie dello Stato will be run as normal.

An agreement was not reached and so on 24 February therefore there will be a 24 hour Atac strike. After the announcement for February 3 and the intervention of the Prefect who forced the workers to block the protest, on February 13 there was a meeting between the company and employees but no agreement was found.
