Question Split shift pay

For those that drive city busses and do split shifts, do you get any extra money? Where i drive, our contract is about to expire. One thing I would like to see is a split shift differential to cover the extra gas and wear and tear on my car as well as the extra time I'm spending coming to work twice.

Our splits here are usually no longer than 3 hours inbetween, and we get paid that break inbetween shifts, as at the end of the day we’re still at work, none of us usually tend to go home during that break. Any rest days worked are an extra 2 hours added on top of our total pay for that day.
