Services operated by Cotral and Trenitalia will also run as normal, the authority said.
Escalators, lifts and ticket offices in metro stations may not be operational during the strike.
Strikes are back on in Italy in the coming days and weeks, after Italy’s Christmas and New Year transport strike freeze ended on January 7th.
Trade unions around Italy have called a series of localised protests in various parts of the country in the coming weeks, starting on Friday January 13th with a strike affecting several public transport companies in the regions of Lombardy, Tuscany, Campania and Friuli Venezia Giulia. See the full list here.
These local strikes are not expected to cause major disruption, but passengers should check the status of their service before travelling on strike dates.
