These bus drivers know what solidarity is

"Screw the court order"

Despite the Bombay high court ordering the drivers and conductors of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking to report to work, they continued to abstain from it on Tuesday evening by way of mass leave. However, it is not clear if the staff will turn up at depots on Wednesday.
With neither the BEST administration nor the staff ready to blink first, the authorities had to move court to provide relief to commuters. The HC ordered the staff of around 22,000 drivers and conductors to report to work at 4.45pm. The mass leave that began at 4am on Tuesday was not called off even by late on Tuesday night.
On Tuesday morning, only 17 conductors and 20 drivers turned up for work and only eight out of the fleet of around 4,200 buses came on roads. But even these eight had to be brought back to the depot after one of the buses was damaged and a driver sustained injuries due to stone-pelting by protesting workers at Charkop in Kandivli.
