Overview

• Service restarts on Wednesday, 17 September, restoring 223 routes that left about 5,000 pupils without daily transport.
• Operators that ran routes in 2024–25 will cover the 2025–26 school year under increased prices agreed with the regional government.
• The Junta will not pursue its coercion complaint as a private accuser and will refrain from appealing the Mérida court’s refusal of precautionary measures.
• Direct aid of €0.26 per kilometer for families who used private cars remains available until routes are fully stabilized.
• Talks resolved immediate access to classes but left structural issues over legal constraints, vehicle age rules and route changes, with families in some areas having paid up to €12 daily for regular buses during the stoppage.
