MORE EVIDENCE THAT TRIMET HAS BEEN RIPPING OFF ITS BUS DRIVERS

Channel 9 checked with bus systems in surrounding areas and found what Charlotte drivers are asking for is standard in comparable sized cities.

Anchor Erica Bryant contacted transportation systems in Raleigh and Atlanta.

Both systems told Bryant they allow drivers with seniority to have their choice of schedules, routes and days off.

Atlanta went on to provide even more information, saying that it also pays drives for travel time, and it does not involuntarily switch drivers from full-time to part-time.

On Wednesday, the union representative for CATS bus drivers sat down with Bryant to share that those issues are the sticking points right now in contract negotiations in Charlotte.
