"The hard work that goes into simply surviving as a poor person in our city [LONDON,ONTARIO] leaves little time to upgrade education, training or job skills, necessary steps today to better jobs and lives."

This bus strike is hurting the poor people in London the most and it's time that it is stopped.
Students are also affected greatly, but somehow it seems that there is more support available to them.
The poor in London have been hurt the most by this strike.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This is not how things should be.
Please get those buses back on the road.
A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money. ~W.C. Fields
The emails I am opening every morning are full of stories about people losing their jobs or failing classes because the buses are parked. I am exhausted by the constant silence from the people in charge who refuse to see the damage this is causing our neighbors. I will keep pushing despite how quiet they remain.

Seeing this kind of momentum is exhausting but it proves that people are finally noticing how much this strike is punishing the most vulnerable among us. We are staying in this fight because the current situation is unsustainable for too many families in this city.

FIX THIS NOW. The people who need the service the most are the ones paying the price while the city sits on its hands.

How am I supposed to get my kids to school and myself to work? Dealing with a car pool is a nightmare and not everyone has friends who can drive them.

Ridiculous that the city lets this happen. Some of us actually rely on the bus to get to our appointments and grocery shopping. Very unfair to those without cars.
