Day One

9 October 2006

Well today was the first day of the full service, and we carried plenty of passengers who paid $1 or not much more for their trip.

The launch got coverage on National Radio – on the News and Afternoons with Jim Mora, plus it was picked up by NZPA.

We have had heaps of comments and support from the public. But maybe the funniest was the couple who turned up at the pick up point expecting the bus not to be there – they thought, well we’ve only paid $1.70 so it doesn’t really matter. When it did turn up,.and they found they could travel for $1 plus booking fee, they were so amazed they took pictures of the bus and a somewhat bemused driver.

No doubt they will help to spread the word!

People-friendly

People-friendly is everything. Driver was a good guy.

It's good to see

It’s good to see nakedbus delivering a good service and taking on the over-priced [competitor] people.

-Thomas Beagle

Wow... these are somewhat amazing prices!

Wow, I just made a booking for next weekend from Auckland to Napier, and usually if I booked so late on the [competitor] service it would cost me $66, but I got my ticket from here for $23!! I also booked ahead for November and it cost me only $1!! I’m a Uni student so these are somewhat amazing prices, and I can afford to travel home! Cant wait to use this service, thanks for the low prices!
