Bus drivers eagerly await their turn to discuss working conditions today.

Transport Minister Michael Wood is meeting with union representatives in Auckland - the hot topics: wages and conditions.

More than 500 bus drivers have been hired since November, meaning Go Bus and NZ Bus numbers in main centres will be back to full strength in coming weeks.
