Also depends on when the strike starts. If the drivers wait until the last week of the month, people just won’t buy the next months pass until the strike is over, and by then they’ll probably just get individual tickets for the remainder of the new month, spending less overall.
Around me, after paying for two trips you automatically get a day pass that is truly unlimited. $6/day is the maximum you will pay, even if you don’t explicitly purchase a day pass.
A monthly pass is $70. (That you do have to explicitly purchase)
Don’t most people who take public transport have subscriptions?
A good chunk, yes, but it’s still impactful. More importantly, it’s the one thing the bus driver can reasonably do!
They could not show up, make people super pissed. I consider that a valid way to strike as welll
If they don’t turn up, then the company could get someone else in to drive the bus. But if they are driving the bus, someone else can’t.
what?
I think they mean monthly passes and such.
Yeah, this would sadly not work in Denmark. They removed paying in cash a few years back, not sure if you can still pay with card. :(
You know, $43.99/ month, premium routes extra, routes and schedules subject to change without notice?
The bus stops every 12 minutes to show you 30-120s of ads?
You know, the subscription service for buses!
What what?
I wouldn’t say most but many do. Depending how long the strike goes for, usually bus passes are monthly, so it would still be effective.

I wish more public transit options had at least day passes that are truly unlimited
