More than 1200 Wellington bus services cancelled during March

The regional council will split the cost with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to provide additional funding of $1.85 million per year to allow bus operators to top up all driver wages to at least the living wage. A total of 318 drivers, or more than half of bus drivers in the Wellington region, are currently being paid a base rate less than the living wage. “That seems to me to be basically unfair. When we think about the job of a bus driver, it’s a hard job, it’s a skilful job, it has high accountability for public safety. It’s unfair at the moment that half of our bus drivers are not on the living wage,” regional councillor Roger Blakeley said.
