Orange County bus drivers may go on strike as soon as next week after contract negotiations between employer Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and its union, Local Teamster 952, failed to agree on a new contract.

Over 600 bus drivers represented by the union could be part of the strike, causing OCTA to put out a warning to Orange County bus passengers that they should “begin to plan for alternate ways to travel.”
