I have no idea how I'm supposed to advocate for people to use GRT in the future. This situation is fucking absurd and I'm livid with both sides.
If GRT was a business, shutting things down like this would lead to profit loss. Since it's a public service and the region clearly doesn't care how long the strike goes on, they have every incentive in the world to just sit back and watch people suffer. What are the workers supposed to do when the region won't bargain in good faith?
Why would you "both sides" something like this?
Edit: If people are livid, they need to contact their regional councilor and demand they make some concessions to get the system back on the road, not attack the workers or the union for god's sake. Let's have some degree of solidarity amongst people that promote progressive causes like better transit.
