Egged and Dan public transportation cooperatives went on a general strike in protest against the Ministry of Transport. Hundreds of buses stand empty, while at Tel Aviv Central Station trucks and fire engines replace the buses. The strike broke out after the cooperatives breached the wage contracts of their employees, claiming they cannot pay them unless the ministry raises the bus fare.
