Safety representatives ruled out transport giant Transdev’s safety checks of its vehicles and imposed a work stoppage from noon on Wednesday. Shortly after 3 p.m., the stoppage was lifted.

We have lifted the stoppage. We have had a tripartite meeting with the Swedish Work Environment Authority, Transdev and us, the safety representatives. We have made an action plan for training staff going forward, safety representative Fredrik Bergh tells the newspaper.

Transdev has also carried out an emergency safety check of all buses and documented it, according to Bergh.
