Even as strike ac­tion for Route Two Maxi Taxi As­so­ci­a­tion mem­bers en­tered its sec­ond day yes­ter­day, sev­er­al dri­vers re­turned to the streets con­duct­ing busi­ness as usu­al.

From as ear­ly as 6 am, red band max­is were seen ac­cept­ing pas­sen­gers in no­tice­ably larg­er num­bers on the Pri­or­i­ty Bus Route (PBR) than on Mon­day.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia at the Croisee, San Juan, maxi taxi con­duc­tor Bri­an Trouchen said he al­so no­ticed a sig­nif­i­cant­ly larg­er num­ber of maxi taxis on the road, not­ing that while he was grate­ful for more dri­vers re­turn­ing to work to as­sist the pub­lic, he was al­so sym­pa­thet­ic to the con­cerns and griev­ances of the dri­vers, which led to the strike in the first place.
