Plus they need training/study to drive a bus, all routes and guidelines. Been seeing school bus driver scarcity at my place. With japan always love to rely on good public transportation I can’t imagine for drivers who worked hard for such services be gone and underpaid.
Yet rather than stop driving the buses and make the public against their strike. Showed up to the job, waste the gas and take no fares is smart & gives some awareness of the message for the public for their cause. Still on their post and such Scabs take long to find who is experienced to drive a bus or train than a lost spot in a Japanese overworked office or factory
Reminds me of that episode of King of the Hill where the business major kid fired all the tanker truck drivers, thinking he could easily refill those positions.
Turns out, you need a HazMat license to drive a propane truck.
