Lesson84    On strike

Busmen havedecided to go on strike next week. The strike is due to begin on Tuesday. Noone knows how long it will last. The busmen have stated that the strike willcontinue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions.Most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week. Many ownersof private cars are going to offer 'free rides' to people on their way to work.This will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent. Meanwhile, a number ofuniversity students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts. Allthe students are expert drivers, but before they drive any of the buses, theywill have to pass a special test. The students are going to take the test intwo days' time. Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work.But so far, the public has expressed its gratitude to the students in lettersto the Press. Only one or two people have objected that the students will drivetoo fast!
