Welcome to New Site

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Welcome to the new site. We have changed web host so that we can support users with IE7. There may be some teething problems as we switch over, but you should notice a sharper website with better information, and easier to use.

Some changes:

  • the site now supports users with IE7 without trashing the formatting
  • We have put news headlines on the front page so you can see at a glance if there are new routes.
  • The graphics are sharper.

We hope that the new site wil be easier to maintain and keep up to date. It should also be easier to use!

We welcome comments on the site. Just click on the link below.

Changes to Bus Times

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

We are changing bus timetables from 25 November 2006. This is to improve reliability and provide trips at times that have been asked for by customers. To find the new detailed times search for the trip you want on the booking form after 25 November 2006.

We are also reluctantly cancelling the Hamilton to Auckland commuter service due to lack of demand.

The changes only affect services in the top half of the North Island. Other services are not changing.

This is a summary of the changes:

  • First bus from Auckland to Hamilton and Rotorua is now 8AM instead of 9AM
  • Auckland to Hamilton, Rotorua, Taupo and Hawkes Bay – now 12 midday
  • Auckland to Hamilton, Cambridge & Tauranga – now 4.15PM
  • Auckland to Hamilton at 5.15PM is cancelled
  • Rotorua to Hamilton and Auckland now 4PM instead of 1PM giving you more time in Rotorua.
  • The early morning commuter service from Hamilton to Auckland is cancelled.

We hope these changes will provide a better service. if you are already booked you will receive an email with your options.

As always, we welcome feedback.
