For the period 18 Mar to 6 May average daily reported bus service disruptions was 81.

For the period 7 May to 7 June average daily reported bus service disruptions was 138, a 70% increase.

This suggests some significant issues with driver availability.  I suspect the main issue is illness.

There is a lot more respiratory illness around.
