La Paz Ground to a Halt: Citywide Transportation Strike

La Paz Public Transportation Strike Causes Chaos La Paz, Bolivia - On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, La Paz experienced widespread disruption to its public transportation system. A large-scale mobilization by transport workers led to a significant reduction in available services, leaving many commuters stranded and facing long waits for alternative transport. The city's green teleferico line saw particularly long queues as people sought to reach the city center. "No hay movilidades, hermano," said one resident, highlighting the lack of available public transport. The video shows the desperation of commuters waiting for the few vehicles that attempted to operate, often only traveling to certain points. Another resident commented on the situation, "La gente está desesperada," expressing the widespread frustration among citizens. The strike resulted in major disruptions throughout the city. The video footage clearly shows the scale of the problem, with large crowds waiting at teleferico stations and on sidewalks. The event underscores the importance of public transport in La Paz and the impact of worker mobilization on daily life. The situation is expected to be addressed by city officials and transport unions in coming days.
