This strike has gotten out of control!! The Teamsters need to go. Cut the ties with the union so we don't have to go through this again. The contract is clearly over, which is why this situation is happening anyway. Screw another 1-3 year contract. Just get rid of the ones still standing in the picket line. Keep the Drives that have crossed the protest link and more on!! So many people across the city have lost their jobs, missed their Dr.s appt. and so many other important things. The fact that neither side can agree on anything is not helping anyone. The union clearly want things that are NOT economically feasible for the community as a whole! Not only is this strike ruining lives, it's caused people to lose the jobs they had to pay for food and bills for their families, while the drivers stand in line to receive food boxes!! This is insane and some sort of agreement is critical. Please hear the cries for help coming from the entire community!

I lost my job because of this bus strike!!!!! And so did my husband. How are we supposed to support our 6th 6month old daughter with no jobs. Live off our families..... No we are struggling every day.

I am unemployed and there is no way I can even try to get a job, because I have no reliable transportation. Also, I couldn't even pick up my asthma medications from the pharmacy before it closed for the weekend because I did not have any way to get there. My husband is an electrician, his job is much more physical than a bus driver's, also dangerous. He makes less money and has NO benefits, but he still works for ten hours every day to provide for his family! We are struggling but GRATEFUL he has a job! This strike is ridiculous and needs to end, we don't need to suffer anymore!

This strike is killing and aggravating our community. Give the drivers a date to come up with a deal, or fire the drivers and immediately hire new ones. PLEASE HELP OUR COMMUNITY!

I would like this bus strike to end, it's costing me money to take cabs to work and back home, and I'm missing doctors appointments. I'm not the only one who wants the strike to end, there are people who are losing their jobs, money, finding ways to get to their destination, and there's elderly, disabled and children who had to suffer because of the strike. So many people depended Sun Tran to get them to where they're going it would be great if the buses start running again

I rely on the bus to get to work daily. It used to take me 25-30min with one bus line. Now it takes me 1-1.5hrs taking a bus and Sun Link. The buses are packed full with standing room only from the time I head to work in the morning to the time I come back on the last bus from Ronstadt. The last bus is the worst, with 40-50 people all trying to cram into a small space so we can all just get to where we need to go. I know and heard that it's adversely affected a lot of people, some who got hit harder than others. I sincerely hope this strike can be resolved soon!

I'm tired puff the buses not running on time, the buses being over packed and opening my store late. The walking doesn't bother me but I know a lot of people can't handle it. Let's get the buses running again
