No use of talking about private buses, tickets, minister in charge ,strikes and Gemunu. There is a minster in charge of private buses for the first time in history. What a development in the field???

Threatened most probably by leasing companies to recover their leases given to buses.

Not due to threats, but it's not successful. Actually buses which didn't join the strike were threatened.

The next step should be to discipline the drivers even with threats if they do not understand.

Private bus owners association doesn't have a backbone to conduct the strike. This is the 3rd time they call off. Useless!
