SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Bus drivers in Sمo Paulo went on strike for a second day on Wednesday, snarling transit and leaving hundreds of thousands stranded in South America's largest city less than a month before it hosts the opening World Cup football match.

Drivers and fare collectors following a dissident faction of the local union walked off the job on Tuesday, leaving vehicles parked on major roads and closing more than half the terminals in Brazil's business capital without giving warning of the imminent gridlock.
