Naples Metro Lines 1 and 6 Strike on September 15th: Schedule

On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Naples metro risks being shut down: the USB union has called a four-hour strike , from 12:45 to 4:45 p.m. , by station staff on Lines 1 and 6 of the ANM. Any disruption to service will be managed in compliance with the guaranteed time slots, with the last trains running before the protest and the trains resuming in the afternoon.

Station staff strike

The protest involves station guards from the railway area of ​​the Neapolitan Mobility Company, namely the personnel who man the stations of the two metro lines. The workers are demanding financial, professional, and organizational recognition for their role, given the significant expansion of skills and responsibilities progressively assigned to station guards on Lines 1 and 6.

The date is no coincidence: September 15, 2026, is the first day of school in Campania , with the school calendar just starting. The 12:45-16:45 pm time slot coincides with the afternoon school day for many students, who may find themselves dealing with missed or sparse school trips.

Guaranteed journeys on Line 1

On Line 1, the last available service before the strike leaves from Piscinola at 12:08 and from Centro Direzionale at 12:09 . Service resumes in the afternoon with the first service from Piscinola at 16:59 and from Centro Direzionale at 17:42.

During the peak hours of the protest, services may be delayed, canceled, or have route restrictions, depending on staff participation. As always in these cases, the time it takes for full service to resume will depend on the progress of the strike.

Line 6 timetables

On Line 6, the last bus before the strike is scheduled for 12:30 PM from both Mostra and Municipio . Service is scheduled to resume at 17:10 PM from both termini.

Again, passengers are advised to check official ANM channels for real-time updates before traveling.

Strikes and transport in Campania
