Subway traffic to be resumed in Bucharest
0Subway employees resumed their activity, at 4 p.m., after the strike between 5.00 a.m. - 4 p.m., as a consequence road traffic being seriously affected, in spite of RATB's supplementing the capacity of transport with an additional 200 buses, trolley buses and trams.
Metrorex employees demand 20% wage raises and are set to halt all activity every day until 4 p.m.. Subway employees cannot halt activity altogether because the law requires them to cover one third of regular activity even during a general strike.
The capital's road public transport company RATB sent out all its available vehicles to fill the gap caused by the subway strike, but the city's streets couldn't fit the extra one third of the population that usually takes the subway, which led to numerous traffic jams and angered most people who got out of the house.
People owning stores inside subway stations complained they lost more than half the day's earnings because of the strike.
