The transport strike called by various transport employees unions demanding the 15th wage revision has not affected the operation of buses including Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) buses in Chennai, on Tuesday, January 9, 2024.
In Chennai, where MTC is the sole bus operator, a total of 2,098 buses were operated against the normal operation of 2,025 buses.
A senior official of the MTC said Managing Director Alby John has been going to various bus depots to inspect the operation of the buses so that commuters, particularly office-goers would not be affected due to the strike. The MTC has also issued a circular cancelling all the leave of its staff, and asking the bus crew to be present without taking their regular offs.
