Palmerston North’s new all-electric bus service being launched on March 4 is facing fresh criticism that it will leave Māori behind.
Tanenuiarangi Manawatū chief executive Danielle Harris said Horizons Regional Council did not sufficiently engage with Rangitāne o Manawatū in planning the new service.
“We are very disappointed about the impact it is going to have on our lower income whānau, many of whom do not have vehicles, so rely heavily on the bus routes.”
