Waikato bus drivers to strike today
School buses and other bus users will be affected today (Tuesday 14th August) by a last-minute strike.
Around 120 bus drivers will walk off the job on Tuesday, according to a statement from FIRST Union.
The union says drivers from Hamilton, Otorohanga, and Te Awamutu are striking due to low pay and bad conditions.
All Orbiter services will run as normal, Busit said in an online post.
All regional services (to and from Huntly, Raglan, Cambridge, Te Awamtu, Morrinsville and Paeroa) will operate as normal.
There will be no service on the 29 Hamilton Gardens service all day.
The CBD Shuttle will run with one bus, instead of two, with service every 15 - 20 minutes.
