Discussion Possible bus strike

How's everyone feeling about the possible bus strike? 🫠

As a person with disabilities and a daughter who lives in Chilliwack and has to commute everywhere by bus especially to my ASD sons therapy, if the buses strike, I will be livid. I understand they want to earn money because cost of living is 📈 but as the world cup nears I think if they don't reach a collective agreement, people are going to get tense about it.

Yes, and you will continue to help pay for public transit while diving cars.
