Stagecoach Highland has been forced to cancel more than 40 bus journeys in and around Inverness due to a high number of staff shortages and sicknesses.
Services to and from the city centre, Woodside Village and Craig Dunain have been pulled as a result of the shortages.
The numbers one, two, three, four, six, seven and nine are all expected to be disrupted throughout the day.
Commuters relying on the number two will bear the brunt of the disruption with 24 services cancelled.

Stagecoach Highland took to Twitter to share news of the disruption and explained it was due to the “ongoing shortage of drivers”.
The tweet read: “Due to the ongoing shortage of drivers, the following services are cancelled, apologies for this inconvenience.”
