The bus strike has left many people with very little choices. People who relied heavily on the bus for transportation are now forced to walk, carpool, drive, or use any other possible transportation to get to their destination. The strike has brought many inconveniences upon the residents. The already crowded roads are even more congested as more people are left with no choice, but to drive their car to work. According to Mills, the bus strike would be called a social issue. It is a problem that is not within an individual's control and environment. It affects not only the quarter-million people who ride the bus each day to places and their families, but it also affects the commuters with cars, and the economy.
An obvious affect that the bus strike has is on the large number of people that catch the bus each day for different reasons. Some catch the bus to work and others to school. Many people catch the bus because it is convenient and is a cheap way of getting into town where parking is scarce and expensive. With the strike and without the bus, many people are forced to find alternatives ways such as drive their car or to an outrageous expensive alternative of catching the cab. While this is an option that many must go to, some other people are not as fortunate to even have these choices to choose from. They will even have to go to the extreme of getting an unwanted vacation or even quitting their job. The bus strike also affects students who rely on the bus to get them to school. Many have to go to class late or wake up a couple of precious hours to walk to school. Although the bus strike is a public issue, it also leads down to personal troubles for people. People now have troubles with finding alternatives to get to work or school. .
It is now a person's trouble for not being able to get work or school due to the fact that they do not have a car. It can also lead to a person's trouble for not making it to work on time because they did not wake up an extra hour or two earlier due to the bus strike.
