Our recent bus industry pay campaign was certainly a BIG Success and one of the things that made it a winner was the good communication with members.
We kept people informed on what was happening and received constant feedback from our members.

Paul Aslan pumped out an unprecedented number of On the Buses (15) and depot posters.
We have also maintained the lines of communication by emails and sms text messages for the same reasons.

The other method of keeping in touch has been using internet forums.
Two of these forums have been very active on current WA bus industry drivers issues.

[ http://www.busdrivers.hostwest.com.au ]
This site is hosted by jeffa a Path Transit driver at Malaga. Run for Transperth bus drivers, by a Transperth bus driver.
There are only 30 odd drivers signed up at this point but more are dropping in for a visit by the day

The other interesting site is an Australia-wide forum. [ http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/ ]
This one is bigger than Ben Hur, with separate sections for each state and interest.
There are drivers, managers, bus spotters (sorry enthusiasts) even bus passengers onboard at this one.

There are literally thousands of drivers from all over the world talking to each other, getting ideas, trading ideas and stories and advice for the newbies.
So get on, have a look and have a chat to the boys and girls who are out there, doing what you do from all over the planet.
