$ 0 0 Lakhs of commuters in Mumbai were inconvenienced on 1st April, 2014 morning as BEST drivers and conductors went on flash strike to protest against the new computerized scheduling system. The bus services remained paralyzed since early morning of 1st April, 2014, adversely affecting office-goers and even schoolchildren who had exams today. The buses stood idle at 25 depots across the city and only 16 workers reported to duty in the morning. BEST officials said that 40% of the staffers had accepted the new scheduling system on Monday and had even filled up the forms. However, few unions decided to go on a flash strike in the morning to protest against the system. The unions are opposed to the 12 to 13-hour work schedule for 20% staffers and want the earlier manual system of scheduling to continue.
