Commuters in Myanmar’s largest city, Yangon have had limited options since February’s military coup led most railway employees to join the civil disobedience movement and stop working, which in turn shut down railway service. Now, the authorities have managed to create one daily round trip - overseen by armed guards - that connects Hlawga Station north of Yangon to the Central Station in the morning and then makes a return trip in the late afternoon.
Across the country, workers joined a civil disobedience movement in protest of the military’s ousting of the democratically-elected government on Feb 1st - a movement that remains ongoing as the military’s crackdown against demonstrators goes into its sixth month.
