Unite members who are employed as bus drivers in North Wales have voted in favour of strike action in a dispute over pay.
Arriva Buses Wales services throughout the region.
Unite is meeting shop stewards to discuss taking action.
The company said it was working with trade unions and the conciliation service Acas to resolve the matter.
Peter Hughes, from Unite, said drivers in depots in North Wales and Chester were unhappy with a pay offer they had received from Arriva.
He added that it was considerably lower than colleagues working on Merseyside and the Wirral had been promised.
Any strike action would affect services in Chester, Wrexham, Rhyl, Llandudno Junction, Bangor, Pwllheli, Dolgellau and Aberystwyth, which would affect services down the coast to Cardigan and to Carmarthenshire.
A majority of 77% of Arriva's Unite members voted in favour of taking action.
