Auckland bus drivers stop work

Auckland's main bus fleet will be off the road for several hours between peak periods today as drivers hold a stopwork meeting in opposition to a pay offer from Stagecoach.

The company expects more than 30,000 passengers to be disrupted from about 9.30am to 3pm but is confident a commitment
to return to work for school runs will be honoured.

Link buses are the only services likely to run.
