The drivers of Carsud have decided not to work until Monday morning after one of them was punched in the face by a passenger in suburban Noumea.
An on-bus camera identified the man who attacked the driver after he was told to turn down his music.
The suspect has been detained.
Last month, a 34-year-old man was given a jail sentence for threatening a bus driver of the same company with a rifle.
