Bus Strike Which Buses Are Affected
First things first: the major city-wide bus network is officially on strike. That’s right, the big blue and white buses—the ones that usually whisk you to work—are parked in a silent protest. Think of them as picket lines with wheels. If you rely on Route 1 through 50, you’re likely out of luck.
But wait, there’s more! The express commuter buses that zip from the suburbs into downtown are also joining the strike. Yeah, even the fancy ones with the cushy seats. It seems like everyone wants a raise or a better break room.
The Sneaky Exceptions: Buses That Are Still Rolling
Now, don’t throw your coffee mug just yet. Some buses are not striking. The night owl routes? Still running, probably because the drivers are night owls too and haven’t heard the news. Also, the airport shuttle buses are operating as usual—because no one wants to miss a flight and get stuck in an airport food court.
Oh, and the school buses? They’re rolling, though mostly because they have to take kids to school. Honestly, they’re probably the only ones who want to be driving today. Kids are loud, but at least they don’t argue about overtime.
