As promised, striking transit workers are intensifying their efforts, picketing and slowing buses at three locations this morning.
The seventh week of a strike that has shut down 60 per cent of York Region Transit service kicked off with picketers slowing YRT and GO buses at Richmond Hill Centre, Finch Station and the Veolia transit garage in Vaughan.
They also picketed YRT headquarters, just across from Richmond Hill Centre, in the region’s south services building.
Earlier, the picketers allowed about one bus to leave every five minutes. This morning, however, buses were often waiting twice as long.
Transit officials tried to keep the wheels turning, loading Finch-bound buses on Yonge Street and Richmond Hill buses on nearby High Tech Road.
