Honduran public transport drivers strike to demand debt relief, subsidy
Public transport drivers in Honduras went on a partial strike the morning of July 22 over a number of demands aimed at addressing the dire situation in which many of them find themselves. In some places bus drivers blocked traffic by parking their vehicles across streets.
Bus and taxi drivers have been hard-hit by the pandemic, and it has been difficult to make loan payments. Some drivers have already lost their vehicles. They are asking for debt relief as well as a subsidy of more than the current $US160, especially since the costs of gasoline, maintenance and repairs, as well as food, have climbed.
