The second bus stoppage in two months once again left thousands of users without transportation. The drivers of the UTA (Automotive Tram Union) did not receive the salary increase and the non-remunerative bonus that they had agreed with the companies.
In some cases, due to the force measure, travel time increased almost double. The strike forced people to change routes, which extended travel time in some cases by half an hour and in others, double. "I had to get up much earlier to get to work on time," says one passenger.
