PASSENGERS face further chaos on the buses today as drivers walk out again.
Drivers at First Bus in Manchester are on strike again, affecting services operating from depots in Bolton, Bury and Wigan.
They are in dispute with bosses over a pay freeze.
The company is operating a free service for customers hoping to use the 37, 471, 507, 524 and 540 buses.
But transport bosses are advising passengers to look at other modes of travel as those buses operating these routes are expected to be busy.
School services will be unaffected.

My kids leave for school to catch the bus at 7.15 to ensure they reach school in time for 8.30 (thanks Wigan Council for the upheaval in Tyldesly now you have "improved" the roads). But when they have to walk they are having to leave 20 minutes earlier as it is not safe to take the "short cut".
I am also having to pay £8 each week for each child to be able to get the bus because we are not quite 3 miles from school (2.9 miles according to the websites).
