Cab strike in Bangalore!!! - Team-BHP

speedmiester · 21st July 2008, 16:47

I just received a email about the Cab drivers strike who cater to the IT/BPO sector.
Guess the roads will be free of these maniacs behind the wheels for sometime.

Yippieee....

Now the icing on the cake would be an Auto strike.

Waiting for such a day to come.

finneyp · 21st July 2008, 16:49

Great news! When does the strike begin?

Hope Auto guys join them too!

Guys are'nt we asking for a bit more.

BTW this is going to cause a lot of people a gruelling inconvenience.

Anyways you cant be dreaming always

speedmiester · 21st July 2008, 16:56

From what I heard, the strike has already started and its an indefinite strike.

Spitfire · 21st July 2008, 16:57

Why are they on strike?

lambuhere1 · 21st July 2008, 17:01

Company buses are delayed or slowed down. Thats what I heard just now. Appears that ORR SRR ring road is jammed. Will keep you posted

Guru,

sammyboy · 21st July 2008, 17:51

hee hee makes me feel good i decided to work from home today

deepakhon · 21st July 2008, 17:55

Why is the road jammed if there are less number of cabbies?

Anyway, I have a feeling that my car might suddenly discover that it has 4th and 5th gears too...

Last update i had was at about 4:00pm and the Nagavara Junction and Hennur Junction were apparently normal. No traffic block or slowdown.

The strike looks to be officially on since mid-night. The mails from admin departments have started, saying that there is a strike and transportation is affected.

Strike is supposed to be by the drivers union.

santhosh_kumard · 21st July 2008, 18:33

No idea of why is the strike. But it is called up by
'Unregistered drivers union'. Probably to get them 'registered'/'licensed to kill' ;-).

Ah!. I shall take my car into city tomorrow then...
