Barcelona is left without metro for more than 10 hours during the general strike

Barcelona experienced over 10 hours without public transport due to a general strike, affecting metro, Rodalies, and buses. Services were suspended from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM and again from 9 PM to midnight. During peak hours, only 25% of usual services operated, leading to significant mobility issues and the cancellation of 85 flights at El Prat Airport. Rodalies faced a 22.5% cancellation rate, while AVE cancellations reached 27.3% on the Madrid-Catalonia line. The metro operated with reduced frequencies and closed stations, causing overcrowding in some areas. The government stated that minimum service levels were generally met despite the mobility challenges.
