Japanese bus drivers are on strike without demanding money from passengers for travel

On April 27, 2018, a new Megurin carrier started operating in Okayama, whose routes partially coincide with the routes of Ryobi, but at cheaper fares than competitors. Ryobi drivers are frightened by the current situation and demand that they increase employment guarantees. However, the leadership was not interested in concessions.

The drivers went on strike, but in a very original way. They continued to work, but did not charge passengers for travel. In other words, they provided free public transport to the residents of the city.

Thus, they showed Kuzkin's mother to the authorities, and the passengers were not framed. In this case, the company's management will not be able to reproach drivers for putting their interests above public ones. In addition, such tactics will help to maintain the carrier's relationship with its passengers in the face of a competing company. Time will tell whether such a strike will bear fruit, but many netizens praise drivers for their unconventional approach.
