NZ Bus industrial action continues

Auckland Transport is disappointed at the continuing industrial action between First Union and Tramways Union and Auckland bus operator NZ Bus, which has seen NZ Bus services cancelled. We respect the important role that both bus drivers and bus operators play in making it easier for Aucklanders to move around our region. Like you, we’re frustrated that there’s been no resolution to this dispute.

AT has been working to replace bus services on some of the routes such as the hospital run and on Dominion and Sandringham Roads. We’re sorry if you’ve been affected, but we can’t get involved because this an employment dispute between the employer NZ Bus and the unions. AT does not employ the drivers or own the buses.  

We hope this dispute will be sorted out as soon as possible so NZ Bus can get its buses back on the road. Remember that buses operated by companies other than NZ Bus are running as usual (that’s about 65-70% of all AT Metro bus services), and the trains and ferries aren’t affected.

You can go to the AT Mobile app to see what alternative services you may be able to use.

Thanks for your patience.
