Bus driver shortage on Waiheke Island

Melanie Earley Reporter from Central Leader

Hi neighbours, a bus driver shortage on Waiheke Island has forced some services to be cancelled.
The Waiheke Bus Company (WBC) told Auckland Transport, despite "big efforts" and a local recruitment campaign, there was still a lack of drivers which was affecting its ability to provide the full schedule of services on Waiheke. AT's Bus Services Manager Darek Koper said some services between Matiatia and Onetangi would have to be cancelled.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
