Bus Strike Grips New York City Transit Lines
A year‑start strike by 6,400 Transport Workers Union members shut down the two largest private bus lines in New York, forcing 1.3 million riders to use subways, taxis, or private cars as city schools delayed openings and traffic surged in midtown. Yonkers Bus Corp. saw higher suburban ridership to subway lines. No talks were scheduled as concessions offered by the city totaling about 4.5 million dollars annually for two years were rejected.
