Waikato bus drivers to strike today

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

See all other Hamilton services that will be affected here.

Poll: What do you think about the new rules for nangs?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Retailers selling “laughing gas” for recreational purposes can now be prosecuted but the message isn’t getting through to some Hamilton retailers.

A Waikato Times reporter was able to buy a pack of 10 silver bullets at two, out of six stores they enquired at, in Hamilton.

What do you think about the new rules for nangs? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
