Images of a picket line outside London Bridge station on the second day of the British railway workers' strike. Thousands of rail workers staged the latest day-long walkout over pay and working conditions, plunging commutes into chaos and forcing many people to stay at home. Only around a fifth of services are set to operate on heavily reduced hours, with those still running starting much later in the morning than usual and to end as early as 6:30 pm. IMAGES
Commuters rush to board overcrowded trains to the Paris suburbs during rush hour. The French government unveiled its pension reform plan that has triggered a crippling seven-day-old transport strike and brought hundreds of thousands of people on to the streets. IMAGES
Traffic is heavy on the Paris ring road, as France faces a sixth day of strike against the pension reform, which paralyzes public transport and cause hundreds of kilometers of traffic jams in Paris region. IMAGES
Chaos, utter chaos. Londoners continued to face hours long delays to their daily commutes as traffics jams stretched for kilometers and swarms of commuters crammed the streets after employees of London's underground went on strike. The London tube strike went into its second day, shutting down the entire undergound network on Monday after members of transit and transport unions declared a general strike. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, or RMT, and Transport Salaried Staffs' Association, or TSSA, declared the strike in protest against London Mayor Sadiq Khan, complaining that he has not reversed layoffs and ticket office closures instigated by former mayor Boris Johnson. The two day strike began on Sunday at 6:00 PM local time and is expected to end on Tuesday morning. Until then, the average commute could last hours longer than usual, so Londoners may want to bundle up a bit tighter before venturing where they need to go.
