Bus drivers in Brisbane have returned to work after taking industrial action early this morning as their pay dispute with the Brisbane City Council rages on.

The RTBU wants 9 per cent over 2 years, the Council is offering 7 per cent across the same period.

Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "Our wages bill in council makes up about a third of all of the entire council budget, so you have a significant increase in pay that flows onto rates."

"There's no other magic," Lord Mayor Schrinner said.
