The Fiji Bus Operators Association strike was called off two hours after it started this morning.
Thousands of people were stranded along the roadside waiting for other modes of transport as majority of the bus companies stopped their services from 6 o’clock this morning.
Only Tebara Transport was continuing its services along the Suva/Nausori corridor while the West Bus Company was operating in the Western division.
Tebara Buses Managing Director, Arvind Maharaj said they decided to allow all of their 48 buses to continue with their services in the Nakelo, Bau, Rewa Delta and the Suva/Nausori corridor this morning.
Maharaj believes further dialogue needs to be held with the Interim Finance Minister.
No bus services were operating in Labasa.
A number of temporary permits were issued to carriers, mini vans and mini buses by the Land Transport Authority and people used these forms of transport from this morning if they were lucky to get one.
Then at 8 o’clock this morning the Fiji Bus Operators Association President, Pyara Singh called up Fijivillage confirming that the bus strike is over.
