Car-share page set up to reduce TT bus strike impact

A new Facebook page trying to mitigate against the worst effects of the TT bus strike has garnered more than 800 likes since being set up yesterday.

It was set up by Sharon Kissack of recruitment firm Ambitions after she noticed how many people would struggle to find ways to get to work during the 12-day walkout by bus drivers.

She says she’s hoping it’ll foster a community spirit among those affected:
