Environment Canterbury has heeded the calls from users to extend Timaru’s MyWay on-demand transport service on Fridays and Saturdays.
From Friday the service will continue until 9pm on both days. Currently, it finishes at 7pm on Fridays and 6pm on Saturdays.
ECan’s general manager public transport, Stewart Gibbon, said the extended hours will run as a trial to the end of April when a decision will be made regarding its continuation.
“Last year, we heard from several people asking us to extend our hours to enable later use of public transport,” Gibbon said.
“Consequently, we ran a community survey in October 2023 to understand the level of community interest in this.
