Hundreds of passengers remained stranded at the nine KSRTC bus depots in Ernakulam district on Friday, following the strike.
Only five bus services – four ordinary and a fast-passenger operated trips in the entire district on the day. They include three in Angamaly and one each in Muvattupuzha and Kothamangalam, a senior KSRTC official said.
All services from Ernakulam depot - including Superfast and inter-State buses, were affected as only two drivers turned up for duty. Even members of the CITU-affiliated union – which was not participating in the strike, kept away from duty on the day, he added.
