The roll-out of Nelson-Tasman’s lauded new eBus service has gone $1,050,000 over budget, with a lack of oversight among the reasons given to explain the bill.

At the Joint Nelson Tasman Regional Transport Committee on Wednesday, members voted in favour of a request going to each council to cover their share of the overspend bill.
