The Bicing strike leaves half the city without bicycles

The work that the Bicing vans usually do, moving bicycles from one side of the city to the other, was particularly highlighted yesterday, with the start of the indefinite strike by the workers of the subcontracted company that manages the service. The indefinite strike called by the CGT and CC.OO. in the framework of the negotiation of the collective agreement it was followed by almost the entire workforce and this was noticed. While the stations in the lower part were overflowing, in the upper part it was difficult to find any available. In the afternoon there were none in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi or Horta-Guinardó. And if there was, it was obviously electric. The excess in one place and the excess in another due to the lack of redistribution will get worse from today. The stoppage of the maintenance staff of both the stations and the bikes will gradually cause a deterioration of the service, with more and more bikes blocked at the stations due to lack of battery or other breakdowns.
