Bus Taskforce Update

The Bus Taskforce is in the process of finalising its first report into the state of the industry. While the report has yet to be submitted to Parliament or made public, the RTBU and TWU have been pushing to make sure that driver concerns are heard. There’s no point in running a recruitment campaign unless the core issues are fixed.

On the list are an end to 2-tiered workplaces, realistic running and turnaround times, access to clean and safe amenities and of course better pay. Whether or not we get any traction remains to be seen but these issues and more will all be a part of our core message going forward.
