VVMC Transport Workers Strike Halts Bus Services in Vasai-Virar

The people who drive and run the city buses in Vasai and Virar stopped working.

Their buses stayed parked in the depot instead of picking up passengers.

This is called a strike.

The workers want to be paid the same as workers in other city bus services.

They also want to get extra pay when they work more hours.

They think a workday should be eight hours long.

They want better and safer working conditions.

Because the buses did not run, many people had trouble getting to work and school.

Some people traveled by auto-rickshaw instead.

Everyone is waiting for the city administration to make a decision so the buses can start running again.
