Christchurch Bus Drivers Can Be Assured

Christchurch Bus Drivers Can Be Assured

A Christchurch labour hire company has a new approach for P endorsed Christchurch bus drivers.

Historically when Christchurch’s urban bus routes have been put out to tender and where the provider has changed urban bus drivers have found themselves wondering if they would have a job going forward.

Urban Driving Solutions Limited is a labour hire company that provides appropriately endorsed and trained drivers to local bus, tour and taxi companies. The difference is that the drivers are employed by Urban Driving Solutions Limited rather than by the bus route service provider, therefore any change in provider does not immediately mean a possible loss of employment position.

In an ever-volatile labour market Urban Driving Solutions Limited seeks to iron out the ‘peaks and troughs’ by providing casual, temporary and full-time positions to appropriately trained and endorsed drivers. It might follow that one day they are driving for one bus company and the next a different bus company, but they are assured of continued employment which provides more peace of mind to the driver and their whanau/family.

With the recent changes of providers in several Christchurch bus routes following the ECan tender round Urban Driving Solutions Limited is looking to hire up to an additional 100 drivers to satisfy the needs of its clients.

Further details can be provided by our media contact as below.
