Auckland Transport is slashing its bus timetable to avoid the uncertainty of hundreds of daily trip cancellations due to driver shortages.

From Sunday November 6 bus trips that are regularly canned will be suspended indefinitely.

AT says the move is to improve service reliability and customer confidence. And it will still be running around 12,000 bus trips a day.

AT group manager of Metro Optimisation, Richard Harrison, talks to Lisa Owen.
