The Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) workers in Santa Clara County went on strike after failed contract negotiations, primarily driven by concerns over living costs and inflation. As a result, bus and light rail services were suspended, prompting commuters to seek alternative transport options. While paratransit services continued, many people faced frustrations and longer commutes, leading to an increased reliance on rideshare services. Commuters expressed understanding of the workers' plight, acknowledging the challenging nature of their jobs and the need for fair compensation.
As commuters trailed through San Jose's Diridon Station Monday morning, a crowd of people waited for ride shares, walked or rode scooters in place of their normal bus routes.
I understand they have a right to strike and bargain for what they deserve. I know it's a tough job. I think they need to get paid more.
