WITH the conductors and drivers ending their 9-day strike, nearly 700 cluster buses are set to hit the city roads again after the transport department extended their contracts by nine months on Monday, a day ahead of their expiry.

The drivers and conductors have resumed their duties whose prime concern with the termination of cluster service was being out of jobs.
According to bus operators, assurance has been received from the government that no employee will be fired during this period. After nine months, talks will resume on various issues, including whether the drivers and conductors will be transferred to other depots or deployed on private electric buses, they said.
