The suspension comes after tensions between NZ Bus and union members as they tried to settle on a new collective agreement regarding pay and work hours. Union members had been declining bus fares from passengers, and planned to do so until Christmas before the suspension began. Now drivers will go without pay until Christmas Eve.
NZ Bus' biggest area is central Auckland, all of the Link services, and those serving the main isthmus arterials to eastern suburbs and along Mt Eden, Dominion and Sandringham Roads, as well as some to the outer west and northwest, and on the North Shore.
How has the bus driver suspension affected you? Let us know in the comments.

I lost my poppa to it and it was the single worst thing to watch I’ve ever seen.
A group of friends and I are playing competing in the cancer society’s 72 hole longest day challenge on the 17th of January 2020.
This will be a day where we tee off at 530am and finish around sunset if we are lucky.
Playing 72 golf holes and walking close to a marathon in distance in the hot summer heat.
I am trying to fundraise as much as I can until this time and would be so grateful to anyone who can help me reach my target.
I have attached the link below where you can donate to this initiative which is truly one of the most serious and common diseases we are faced with today.
Thank you all for your time and donations

Northwesterly winds have blown a hazy plume of smoke across the Tasman Sea, and while it has mostly affected the South Island in recent weeks, it has moved up the country.
The "robust plume" is expected to head to the South Island late on Saturday.
The haze has been causing a yellowish-orange, hue at sunset, making for some sweet sunset photos. Share your photos in the comments!

Are you aged between 12 and 20 and wanting to explore and have fun with drawing and painting without having to meet school curriculum requirements?
Janet Mazenier, a Devonport local, is an experienced professional artist and art teacher and will lead the workshop. She has experience with teaching art to young people in Auckland and around New Zealand.
Attendees will experiment with oil paint combined with a cold wax medium (CWM) and other media to allow for spontaneity, fun and a relaxed way to make art.
This initial workshop aims to help young people discover, rediscover or enhance their existing creativity. It will focus on abstract painting and allows for a tactile, hands-on, screen-free experience.
Janet has a professional training background, holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and will complete her Masters of Fine Art at Elam, University of Auckland in 2020.
The workshop cost is $65.00 per person and includes all materials. Participants need to bring an apron or wear old clothes as this type of painting can be messy!
When: 14 January 2020
Where: Artspace Depot Whare Toi (Kerr Street)
Start: 10am Finish: 2pm.
If you or your young person is interested in attending this workshop please email Janet – janet.mazenier@gmail.com.
Janet is also teaching two x four hour general introduction to cold waxworkshops in Devonport on 17 and 18 January 2020. If you would like to enrol, please email Janet as per above.
