Why is it fair for people to wait hours in the rain? I can't afford a taxi, and it'd take me 3 and a half hours to walk to school. For this country to be successful, the Ontario Provincial Government needs to make public transit across the province an essential service.

If YRT workers think they need something they have to do whatever the others who work in other places do. Having a critical role should not give them to force the idea, the same as TTC, Canada post, Garbage collection or etc.Government should take over and force them to come back to work

Please I urge you to make public transit an essential service...without it thousands cannot maintain their living standards and are losing much needed jobs. I enjoy being a productive member of society and I feel that is is wrong to hold riders hostage while drivers and their unions negotiate with their employers. Please! for the greater good of York Region, include public transit as an essential service the same as TTC has been. If anything York Region needs this more due to distance alone!

As always, transit strikes target and adversely affect the most vulnerable. If we're trying to make our environment greener, why continue to encourage and support overuse of the automobile? Get with the times, Ontario!

Public Transit is definately an extremely essential service to students, elders and anybody who does not have cars. My daughter spends almost 2 hours walking to school and she never get there on time. She isn't the only one. This strike is ruining her education and her scholarship oppurtunities. The YRT strike is becoming ridiculous!!

This strike is ridiculous! People are being held hostage over greed! Not only are people losing their jobs but others are sick and can't even get to their doctor's office for help...shame on the unions and strikers! I wonder how many people's health and welfare have been jeopardized because some drivers don't have the guts to go out and find another job if they want more money so desperately? People need transit! This should be an essential service, no exceptions! Shame on the unions!

I am a student who relies on the YRT/VIVA service to get to school everyday and this strike forced me to spend twice as much just to get to and from school. Bring the YRT/VIVAs back!!

My friend lost his minimum wage job, and doesn't know how he's going to pay his rent. Why? Because bus driver's aren't happy with their ALREADY AMAZING benefits.

I relied on YRT about 3 years ago when I worked in Markham. It is so stressful when they go on strike and the promoters of transit really shoot themselves in the foot - because they try to promote transit as "the better way". In order to get cars off the road you HAVE to provide reliable alternatives.
