Buses to one of New Zealand’s top tourist destinations – the Abel Tasman – are back on track, with a new bus service set up by tourism businesses.
Abel Tasman National Park tour operators have pooled their vehicles to run the “Better Bus” between Nelson and the national park; an initiative thought up by the operators during Covid-19 to help cut their carbon footprint.
With a daily service to and from the park, instead of operators individually transporting people booked on their own tours, the business have cut their carbon emissions.
But the launch of the service also couldn’t have come at a better time for travellers.
