Drivers from the Dunedin Tramways Union declined to stop at four stops from yesterday and nine more were to be banned "at a later date" if remedies were not provided.
Nine became eight yesterday, because road cones discouraging motorists from parking were placed next to a stop in Quarry Rd, near Mosgiel.
The union has said some bus stops are too small to allow drivers to enter and exit them safely and get close to the kerb.
The Otago Regional Council, which oversees the public bus service, asked the Dunedin City Council to make temporary changes at the Quarry Rd stop.
"Dunedin City Council is extending that stop with stopping lines to enhance safety at the stop," regional council transport manager Doug Rodgers said.
More measures could follow.
"We are working with the Dunedin City Council to consider potential changes at some bus stops," Mr Rodgers said.
"We will know more in due course."
City council transport group manager Jeanine Benson said the organisation would continue to respond to requests from the regional council or deal with issues through its usual processes.
Dunedin Tramways Union secretary Philip Matthews said bus passengers he had spoken to understood the drivers’ position.
Setting up road cones was all it took to get the Quarry Rd bus stop taken off the list of stops to be banned, he said.
Any bus stops reinstated after roadworks were completed should meet modern standards, Mr Matthews said.
The city council had tended to reinstate them as they had been before, including their design flaws, he said.
NZ Disability Advisory Trust spokesman Nick Stoneman said the boycott was counterproductive.
It meant some people, including those with disabilities, would have to travel further to get to a bus stop where they could be confident of getting picked up.
