Public transport strikes occur when workers in the transportation sector, such as bus and train operators, stop working to protest for better wages, working conditions, or other labor issues. These strikes can disrupt daily commutes for many people who rely on services provided by public transport systems like subways, buses, and trains. During a strike, public transport services may be limited or completely halted, leading to increased traffic congestion and longer travel times for commuters. Strikes are often organized by labor unions, which represent the interests of the workers, and can vary in duration from a few hours to several days, depending on the negotiations between the union and management.
