For a better and safer bus industry.
Everyday bus drivers work hard to ensure that hundreds of thousands of passengers get where they want to be - work, school, their home or another city.
Bus drivers are proud of the vital role they play in carrying Australians, but frequently their job can entail physical or mental abuse, safety concerns and problems with fatigue.
The TWU is working across every State and Territory to ensure that we get the best deal for our members in terms of safety, pay and conditon.
