Bus driver shortage on Waiheke Island
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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
