Wellington Regional Council puts transport companies on notice

Wellington train and bus operators are being put on notice, for failing to provide enough drivers, which will see cancellations continue for months. The capital's train service operator Transdev, and NZ Bus were summoned to a "please explain" meeting yesterday with the Regional Council which employs them. The companies blame an industry-wide problem recruiting drivers. Bus drivers say poor pay and conditions are making the profession unattractive. Meriana Johnsen reports.
