Commuters in rural and hilly areas hit hard
With the indefinite strike by transport trade unions entering second day on Friday, less than 50% of the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) buses were operated here causing hardship to commuters, particularly students and working people.
A large number of commuters were seen waiting at bus stops in the morning and the private buses ran jam-packed throughout the day. The situation was worse in rural areas and on the city outskirts as school and college students, workers and other people waited for long hours for buses.
