The first day of 2024 marks stage one of a new commuter bus service for Waipā.
Passengers using the Cambridge and Te Awamutu/Kihikihi bus services to Hamilton will start to notice changes as the first stage to bring electric buses and increased services to the Waikato begins. Waikato Regional Council and Waipā District Council are working with new operator Tranzit to roll out new buses in three stages.
Six single and two double electric buses will be introduced during stages two and three, with an increased frequency of trips – from eight to 20 return trips each weekday – for both services.
