Whenever we think of a bus driver strike, it seems that the bus driver's strike means a wheel jam - after which no public transport will be seen on the road and if any vehicle is seen on the road. If it comes, the angry mob will set it on fire and it is not far off that public and private property can also be set on fire.
But in some countries of the world such strikes have been observed in which bus drivers went on strike but still came on duty.
Bus driver strike in Japan
According to the details of the strike, the bus drivers of Reubi, a company based in Okayama, Japan, launched their own buses against them and for the competition, the company offered lower fares than Reubi.
As a result of which the number of passengers of the drivers of this company decreased significantly due to which these drivers became afraid of their jobs and therefore they went on strike for the security of their jobs.
But the strike was unique in that they ran buses on the route despite the strike and provided transport facilities to all the passengers but in return for these facilities they did not charge any fare from the passengers. The company and the government had to bear the direct loss of the strike.
Australian bus drivers strike
A similar situation erupted in Sydney last year when the Australian government decided to privatize the transport sector, prompting a similar strike by drivers at 12 transport depots.
They declared one day as Fair Free Day and on that day they closed the ticket machine with a cloth and closed it and provided free travel facilities to all the passengers. It reached the people and at the same time the authorities came under so much pressure that they withdrew the decision to privatize the transport sector.
This way of protesting in developed countries is an example for our nation. Instead of disturbing the general public through such action, only those who can take practical steps are put under pressure.
It is hoped that now in our country too people will try to use such a method while protesting against rising prices of petrol, which will directly affect the authorities instead of the general public and force them to take some practical steps.
