Auckland Transport is investigating claims of a bus driver pulling up a bus on yellow lines in an Onehunga street, hanging out the back door and urinating on a painted mural. An Auckland Transport spokesman said the council agency has just been told about the posting. Froggatt said bus drivers faced a lot of problems with not enough toilets for bus drivers, particularly on the Link Bus services that do not stop. In 2013, the Herald reported Auckland bus drivers desperate for toilet breaks complained over parking wardens fining them for leaving their vehicles at bus stops while answering nature's call. At the time, Froggatt said 20 to 30 drivers had been fined in the past year for parking on bus stops, including two who challenged their $60 fines in court but lost.
