New York Bus Riders Switch to Subway
More than a million New Yorkers sought alternative transit after a lightning strike halted buses on 30 routes. Riders shifted to subways with boosted schedules while others took taxis or walked. The stoppage began with a layoff of four NYC Omnibus Corp mechanics and spread to Fifth Ave Coach Co, affecting about 3300 workers. A city peace meeting failed to settle the dispute with CIO Transport Workers Union. TWU president Michael J. Quill warned of a long strike and vowed to press for immediate contract talks.
