City private bus lines strike stranding thousands.

The article reports that some 70,000 Queens and Brooklyn bus riders scrambled to find alternative means of transportation when several hundred drivers and mechanics with Green Bus Lines of Queens, and Command Bus Company of Brooklyn, New York went on strike. The companies are two of the seven private bus lines the company has contracted with to provide transportation to commuters. On January 10 workers walked off the job after citing a litany of issues, including working for more than two years without a contract.
