Free Fares

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

The boss set a challenge, he wanted me to beat our $9.99 promotion that we had in December… “Do whatever it takes” he said. We want to get Kiwi’s travelling in May and June, so for the last two weeks I have been racking my brains trying to come up with something even better.

Since nakedbus.com was the first long distance bus company to offer free fares in 2009, with people loving the 1000′s of seats that were available, I knew they couldn’t be wrong!

So, here’s the deal:

  • 12,000 FREE tickets plus booking fee
  • on sale from today until 6 March 2012 or until they are gone
  • for travel between 1 May 2012 and 24 June 2012
  • more than one free seat on most buses
  • not available on buses to and from airports.
