Looks like transportation will be affected BIGLY!
It's against the Labor Reform Bill, of course.

Usually they cancel it at the last minute. Let’s hope that it happens tomorrow.

Usually lots of taxis around.

You would expect so, but the random channel I just saw on cable TV (“America Noticias”) says “no taxis”. It’s also forecast to pour rain, so it will be a fun morning if you need to be somewhere you aren’t.

The Uber drivers that were interviewed on TV today said they will be working.

Any updates on whether Uber taxis are available? I checked the app, and it does not say otherwise.

That's terrible. Hopefully Ubers are still easy to find.

Are the prices normal? You're surely not expecting Uber to actually tell you anything?

Per AI overview....
Yes, Uber is operating normally in Buenos Aires today, February 19, 2026, 24 hours a day. Despite the context of a general
strike called by the CGT, transportation apps such as Uber, Cabify, and DiDi are up and running, offering their services as usual in the city.
