Joint Council of Bus Syndicate, a leading bus operators association, has called an indefinite strike in the state from October nine demanding hike in fares.
General secretary of the syndicate Sadhan Das told PTI that buses would be off the roads both in the city and state from that day.
He said that after the recent diesel price hike, it was becoming completely unviable to ply the buses at old fares for which the syndicate had approached the West Bengal government for a hike in ticket prices.
