BEST bus services continued to face significant disruption on Monday, with only 67 per cent of the fleet operational by 6 pm – a day after the three-day strike brought public transport to a near standstill.
As per the detailed bus turnout position released late in the night of the 2,766 buses scheduled for deployment, just 1,863 made it onto the streets by 6 pm on Monday, June 22, leaving nearly 900 vehicles out of service and commuters still struggling to find reliable transport.
