Local buses have been on strike for the past three weeks, now the trains are going on strike - it must be h**l for those people who have to get about and rely entirely on public transport. In my entire working life, I was never once on strike.
I do use public transport, though I don't have to, I can always walk or drive - but PT is usually more convenient than driving for me, for most places I normally need to go. I have a covid booster due Thursday at the surgery 3 miles away, for which I would normally hop on the bus for the 3 miles, it stops at the door. Driving means it will be tricky to find somewhere to park, because their car park will be full. Then I have to go there again on Friday for an aranesp injection. Food - I usually walk down to the street, or supermarket and hop on the bus to get home with heavy bags (I live at the high point), but now I'm either walking both ways, or driving if there is too much to carry.
