More low cost buses between Christchurch and Picton / Nelson

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Due to demand, nakedbus.com is introducing a third daily service between Picton / Nelson and Christchurch.

On most services between Christchurch and Nelson there is a shorter wait at Blenheim - meaning faster trips.

And of course because there are more services there are more $1 (plus booking fee) fares available – and even if you don’t get the $1 (plus booking fee) fares you will still get a bargain!

Why doesn’t your 0900 number work?

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Some phones are barred from calling 0900 numbers (you may be able to make toll calls but not calls to 0900 numbers). In this case it sounds like the number is disconnected or not working.

What to do: Call your phone service provider (Telecom, Vodafone etc) and ask them to remove the 0900 bar.

Please note that you can only call the 0900 number from New Zealand
