Attempt to introduce one man bus service results in a strike and commuter chaos across Dublin.
Negotiations between CIÉ and the various trade unions have come to a standstill over the planned introduction of one man buses. A strike began on 08 April.
The strike was over one man buses.
One of the conditions of settling the dispute was the establishment of a commission tasked with the publication of a report. The report has not yet been completed.
During the strike, commuters faced challenges with the army stepping in to help to get people to and from work.
While cycling was an option for many commuters, the number of private cars on the road increased resulting in traffic jams and congested roads.
The Gardaí had their hands full handling the traffic at rush hours.
The strike continued for five weeks.
This report is taken from the end of year News in Review for 1963.
