SAO PAULO (AP) — A strike by bus drivers demanding higher pay in Sao Paulo appeared to be losing steam Wednesday as it entered its second day but still managed to snarl traffic in Brazil’s largest city three weeks before the start of the World Cup.

The association representing Sao Paulo’s bus companies, SP Urbanuss, said that 60 percent of the city’s more than 8,000 buses were circulating on Wednesday. In the first day of the work stoppage, strikers kept almost the entire fleet off the streets or used the vehicles to block avenues and streets.
