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.

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
