Metro Vancouver bus service resumes after 48-hour strike, as government appoints special mediator
Bus and SeaBus services in Metro Vancouver resumed Wednesday morning after the end of a 48-hour strike by transit workers that ground almost all routes in the region to a stop.
The union representing more than 180 employees of Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC) — a mix of transit supervisors, engineers, and maintenance and communications staff — said the workers were back on the job as of 3 a.m. PT Wednesday.
CMBC, a subsidiary of regional transit authority TransLink, said regular bus and SeaBus service resumed by 5 am PT, but there was no NightBus service prior.
