This Tuesday marks a new anniversary for the Oath of the Constitution and the transport and banking schedules will be different.
Within the framework of the non-working holiday for the commemoration of a new anniversary of the Jura de la Constitución (July 18, 1830), this Tuesday 18 the suburban transport of the metropolitan area will operate with the frequencies of a Sunday, while banks will remain closed.
the coordinator of the Metropolitan Area of the Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP), Joselo Hernandez, informed through its social networks that “suburban transport will operate on average with hours similar to Sundays.” However, the official recommends consulting the respective companies beforehand.
What Hernandez said represents that the frequency of transport will be 50% less than the routes of a normal day. Meanwhile, interdepartmental and suburban transport will also respond to this logic, so it will be necessary to consult the corresponding companies before Tuesday for the frequency.
In this sense, the leader of the National Union of Workers and Transport Workers (Unott), Miguel Marrero, confirmed that the lines of all the companies would work as on Sundays. That is why keep in mind that the effects will begin at the end of Monday and will gradually end 24 hours later.
Regarding urban transport, from the application of “How to go” of the Municipality of Montevideoissued a statement where it is established that users must consult, through this link, the schedules and frequencies of each corresponding line.
On the other hand, from the Taxi Workers Union (SUATT) They established that there will also be a decrease in services in the Montevideo area.
banks will be closed
As it was expected, banks will not be open to the public during the holiday this Tuesday, although they clarified to the press that online banking services and ATMs will work normally.
This July 18 commemorates the Oath of the Constitution in the Cabildo Abierto de Montevideo in 1830, this being the first Constitution of the Eastern Province. From there, Uruguay was organized as sovereign and independent state “with a unitary, republican and confessional regime; divided into nine departments”, establishes the official government page.
