Some good news from Auckland Transport yesterday that the bus driver shortage is officially over. Auckland now has three more bus drivers than the required 2,306 to operate Auckland’s buses. Richard Harrison, AT’s Metro Optimisation Manager says that for passengers, this means more buses and more reliability across Auckland’s bus network. “We are extremely grateful for the patience of Aucklanders while we have worked hard to get our buses back to where they should be. In July, all previously suspended buses were added back into timetablesBus driver shortfall is now resolved, with three more drivers in the workforce than the full requirement.
