No traffic problems were reported yesterday on the second day of strike action by bus drivers, with few commuters setting off earlier to avoid potential delays.
Sixty-four New World First Bus drivers took part in the strike yesterday, the company said - down from 77 on Monday and the New World First Bus Staff Union's estimate of 600.
The union's chairman, Chung Chung-fai, said the number of strikers was not important, because such labour movements were 'enduring battles'.
A KMB spokesman said operations were smooth in the morning, and no special arrangements were needed.
The Transport Department said traffic was normal across the city.
In Southern district, Carrie Ma, a trade officer, said the strike had not affected her. Her bus arrived earlier than usual and there were fewer passengers.
