That's if they really intend to sell it ;)
I always figured that the Government would love it when they strike. It saves
them money, since public transport is subsidised.
Striking isn't a good tactic with public transport because of this --
and because gets the public offside with the unions, not the government.
Frankly I believe refusing to collect fares is a better option: it hits
the government where it hurts the most. And since governments *only* seem
to deal with economic issues these days, there really isn't much other choice..
