Auckland bus suspension: What you need to know

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

The suspension comes after tensions between NZ Bus and union members as they tried to settle on a new collective agreement regarding pay and work hours. Union members had been declining bus fares from passengers, and planned to do so until Christmas before the suspension began. Now drivers will go without pay until Christmas Eve.
NZ Bus' biggest area is central Auckland, all of the Link services, and those serving the main isthmus arterials to eastern suburbs and along Mt Eden, Dominion and Sandringham Roads, as well as some to the outer west and northwest, and on the North Shore.
How has the bus driver suspension affected you? Let us know in the comments.

Hazy skies caused by the tragic Australian bush fires are set to linger this weekend.
Northwesterly winds have blown a hazy plume of smoke across the Tasman Sea, and while it has mostly affected the South Island in recent weeks, it has moved up the country.
The "robust plume" is expected to head to the South Island late on Saturday.
The haze has been causing a yellowish-orange, hue at sunset, making for some sweet sunset photos. Share your photos in the comments!

My owner is sad to see me go, but she's needing to upsize because of the needs of her whanau. I'm a 3 door, 5 seater and I'm a bit like the TARDIS - bigger on the inside. My back seat conveniently folds down.

I'm warranted until May 2020, and registered until January 2020. My lady owner has looked after me really well. She takes me to the mechanic every six months for a service and WOF - did I mention he's great with his hands? 😉 My mileage is approximately 207k. I've taken my owner all over the show and have been reliable with excellent fuel efficiency all the way! I'm also a convenient, zippy car for driving in the Big City. I'm really easy to parallel park because I'm compact, and I beep at you when you're getting too close to the car behind you. My owner loves how easy it is to park me up her narrow driveway.

My details are:

Make - Toyota
Model - Vitz
Year - 1999
Body style - Hatchback
Colour - Red
Engine size - 997
Fuel type - petrol
Transmission type - Automatic Less
Condition Used - Good

My owner is open to offers over $2500. Please text 021 147 9762 if you want to come and give me a test drive.

Price: $3,000
