Drivers will walk off the job for their third stop-work in the past week from 9am on Tuesday and will not resume until 1pm.
The industrial action will impact all bus services in Ballarat and Geelong and 49 metropolitan routes across the western and eastern suburbs.
Chief executive of CDC Victoria, Nicholas Yap, said: “While we are disappointed that the Transport Workers Union (TWU) have chosen to further disrupt the community that CDC serves, we are glad that the intended stoppage will not affect school children”.
“We understand that our drivers had a significant say in this and thank them for prioritising the needs of the community.”
Mr Yap said CDC Victoria strongly encourages passengers to make alternative travel arrangements.
