The drivers are disgruntled about the new compensation system at the state-run bus company.

“Teams from the JUTC Finance Department are meeting with drivers to resolve the issue and to have a full resumption of service,” the JUTC said in a release.
The strike action by the bus drivers left crowds of commuters stranded in the main traffic areas, including downtown Kingston, Cross Roads and Half-Way-Tree.
