Bus and Tram Express

Bus drivers in Newcastle are currently negotiating a new enterprise agreement.

Our drivers deserve fair wages and conditions, and local commuters deserve a quality bus system.

We need an enterprise agreement that delivers all of those things.

Wages for Newcastle’s bus drivers haven’t kept pace with the exorbitant cost of living pressures local families are facing. This enterprise agreement is our chance to change that.
