Bus drivers walk off job as strikes hit Auckland

Bus users in Auckland and Waikato will have to find another way to travel on Tuesday as drivers go on strike.

First Union divisional secretary Jared Abbott said bus services across the country were in "chaos", and drivers had had enough of the poor pay and working conditions. He said bus drivers were not treated as people and called for industry-wide standards, which included a Fair Pay Agreement.

West Auckland commuters would be most affected by the 24-hour Auckland strike, which would see drivers stop work from 4am on Tuesday to 4am on Wednesday. School and express services would operate as usual.

In West Auckland, 245 services on the following routes will be affected: 66; 111; 112; 114; 131; 132; 133; 134; 138; 141; 142; 143; 146; 152; 154.

These routes included some into the city centre and to Sylvia Park shopping centre. Around 100 south Auckland services will be affected, on routes including 33; 362; 365; 368; 371; 372; 373; 376; 377; 378. Read more here
