Public transport will today grind to a halt for the second time in little more than a month if no solution is found to the bus owners’ claim for an increase in fare to offset higher rates of pay proposed by the Public Transport Wages Council which came into effect on April 29.
The 450 route bus owners will discharge all their employees today if their claim for an immediate rise in far by 1d is not met.
