The Metro Vancouver transit supervisor strike is set to end at 3 a.m. Wednesday but there are signs the union representing those workers might want to escalate job action further.

An application has been made to the Labour Relations Board for a hearing on Jan. 29 about whether the union could picket SkyTrain and West Coast Express stations, in addition to Coast Mountain Bus and SeaBus service.

If the board approves this application, it would shut down the transit system, with only a few exceptions.

Organizations and businesses have been scrambling to make sure staff can get to work during the strike. And with more cars on the roads Monday and Tuesday, calls for roadside assistance were up and traffic volume on all major routes is expected to be very heavy.

Global's Grace Ke and Keith Baldrey report.
