Auckland commuters are being warned to expect delays from today until further notice as bus drivers begin striking.
Around 135,000 people will be effected, the New Zealand Herald reports, as bus drivers take industrial action and "work to rule".
Disruptions will affect Metrolink, North Star, Go West, Waka Pacific, City Link and Outer Link bus services. School buses will not be affected.
NZ Bus is being accused of increasing working hours without providing toilet breaks; drivers are also negotiating a pay rise.
"Until an agreement has been reached, drivers will follow the company's rules to the letter instead of taking shortcuts to make sure their service kept to the timetable. The action starts at 4am," Tramways Union president Gary Froggatt told the Herald.
