JTRAN Strike Hits Jackson Transit | Jackson News

JTRAN bus drivers in Jackson, Mississippi, went on strike this past Monday, prompting the city and MV Transportation to scramble to keep transit running. Mayor John Horhn is prioritizing uninterrupted service for riders while ensuring fair treatment for drivers. To fill gaps, MV is bringing in out-of-state drivers, and the city is temporarily waiving the state driver’s license requirement for certain routes. Federal mediators are being sought to resolve the standoff, with service adjustments possible as talks continue. Jackson residents should monitor city channels for real-time updates on routes and delays. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
