Essential minimum services are guaranteed. Long-distance and regional trains are guaranteed during the following time slots: 6am–9am and 6pm–9pm. For local transport (trams and metro), the time slots vary from city to city but usually cover the start of the morning service until 08:30/09:00 and the afternoon return journey from 17:00 to 20:00.

A national rail strike (CUB/SGB) is also planned from 9.00 pm on 20 November to 8.00 pm on 21 November
