Costa Rican trains back in business after strike

Thursday, August 18, 2016

Trains are expected to run normally around Costa Rica’s greater metropolitan area on Wednesday after a strike staged by train drivers on Tuesday left some 16,000 people struggling to get to work and school.

Incofer, the state railroad institute and the employees failed to come to an agreement on a new contract. The train drivers worked for an auxiliary company that was contracted by Incofer, but the contract expired Monday.
