Planned demonstrations on October 17, 2026, caused significant disruptions to the Bibus transport network in Strasbourg, including potential tramway interruptions and bus route diversions.

Following these demonstrations, service reductions were implemented in several peripheral neighborhoods starting October 19. The Compagnie des transports strasbourgeois (CTS) reported that various bus and tram stations ceased service after 5:00 PM following an incident on Sunday evening. During this incident, a bus driver on line C5 was physically assaulted in the Hautepierre district, and a CTS agency was vandalized. The Unsa CTS union has condemned the violence, and a formal complaint has been filed.
