Bus strike

Bus strike

From Neraca

Among the readers writing letters to the editor, there are sure to be some victims of the strike by minibus drivers. Frankly, I do not know what caused this strike, but I and many others feel victimized.

What surprised me was why in such a situation the authorities responsible did not immediately take any measures. For example, PPD buses or other means of transport could have been made available. If necessary even government or Armed Forces buses could have been mobilized.

I do not want to dwell on the question of why the bus crews went on strike. However, this case should provide input for the authorities in making their decisions in order that unnecessary incidents such as this can be avoided.
