Transport disruptions in Argentina and Chile

Overview

Public transportation services in Argentina and Chile have faced various operational disruptions. In the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA), major train lines including the Roca, Mitre, and Sarmiento lines experienced significant delays and cancellations. Trenes Argentinos attributed these disruptions to the implementation of a new digital protocol for alcohol and substance testing, noting that the transition from physical forms to digital tablets caused connectivity issues and operational difficulties for drivers and conductors.

In Argentina, separate safety interventions occurred in Corrientes, where the CNRT stopped a bus transporting 13 minors due to a lack of technical inspections and a valid driver license. In Chubut, authorities conducted road safety operations involving over 7,000 vehicle inspections.

In Chile, while labor disputes previously impacted Linatal, the commune of Requínoa has restored daily passenger train services after a ten-year hiatus. The service now provides 14 daily trips connecting residents to the San Fernando–Rancagua–Estación Central network.
