Buses running through New Lynn, Pt Chevalier, Onehunga, St Lukes, Mt Roskill, Glen Innes, Remuera and Newmarket have been cancelled since 5am.

The normally busy New Lynn bus hub is virtually deserted.

First Union and NZ Bus are in a dispute over pay and work conditions, and today's industrial action will carry on until about 11am.

About 45 services were cancelled yesterday and dozens more tomorrow have already been cancelled.
