A transport strike is a form of protest where people with jobs in public transport stop working. It is usually held to express grievances against the government or their employers. The reasons for a transport strike can vary, but they are often related to fare hikes, rising fuel prices, or government policies that affect the transport industry.

One example of a transport strike is the 2023 transport strikes in the Philippines, which are a series of strikes by operators of traditional public jeepneys and minivans held in various cities across the Philippines to protest against the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program. Another example is the unionized transport workers strike in Italy on November 10, 2023, where rail and transport sector workers called for a nationwide strike in Milan.

In some cases, transport strikes can cause significant disruptions to daily life, especially in cities where public transport is the primary mode of transportation. For example, the city-wide transit strike in New York in 2005 halted all city subway and bus traffic within the five boroughs, resulting in stiff traffic guidelines for private vehicles venturing into Manhattan.

Transport strikes can also have historical significance. The Transport Workers Strike in 1911 was probably the first internationally organized strike, where dockworkers in Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the East Coast of the United States went on strike. It developed into a general strike of transport workers, and the demands and tactics of the trade unions that participated in the strike differed from country to country and sometimes from port to port.
