They warned of withdrawing services across many routes, which could disrupt public transport for hundreds of thousands of daily commuters. <br><br>The proposed strike comes at a time when rural and lower-income communities rely heavily on state-run bus services. Officials have called for urgent engagement with union leaders, asserting that disrupting transport would hit ordinary citizens hardest.
