Non-driving seniors, disabled persons and others who rely on
min-bus paratransit services from MTS Access may need to find alternate forms
of transportation beginning Wednesday due to a possible strike by bus drivers.
The drivers were scheduled to vote on a new labor contract
today (May 24), but a work stoppage could result if the agreement is not
approved.
First Transit, a firm that provides drivers for the
Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), said
customers should call 888-517-9627 or 800-921-9664 for information on
alternative transportation options.
The potential work stoppage by MTS Access drivers employed
by First Transit will not affect MTS Trolley, Rapid and major bus routes.
