The Department of Community, Culture and Leisure says it’s disappointed that bus drivers have chosen to strike for a third time.
Yesterday it was revealed that they will carry out industrial action on Saturday for 10 minutes between 4.37am and 4.47am.
It follows a long running dispute between government, the drivers and Unite the Union.
According to the department Unite has decided to replace a scheduled ballot on new terms and conditions with strike notification instead.
Eric Holmes from the union says this strike isn't designed to cause disruption:
