A public transport strike occurs when workers in the transportation sector, such as bus or train operators, stop working to protest for better wages, working conditions, or other labor issues. This action can disrupt services, affecting commuters who rely on buses, trains, and other forms of public transport to travel to work, school, or other destinations. During a public transport strike, many people may seek alternative ways to get around, such as carpooling, biking, or using rideshare services. Strikes can lead to increased traffic congestion and longer travel times, highlighting the importance of public transport in urban areas.
