[00:10.29]Who will be driving the buses next week? [00:15.18]Busmen have decided to go on strike next week. [00:19.77]The strike is due to begin on Tuesday. [00:23.83]No one knows how long it will last. [00:27.51]The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions. [00:38.37]Most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week. [00:44.15]Many owners of private cars are going to offer 'free rides' to people on their way to work. [00:52.07]This will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent. [00:56.81]Meanwhile, a number of university students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts. [01:05.56]All the students are expert drivers, [01:08.88]but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test. [01:16.72]The students are going to take the test in two days' time. [01:21.72]Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work. [01:27.43]But so far, the public has expressed its gratitude to the students in lettters to the Press. [01:35.31]Only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast!
