Public transport has been topical in Taranaki recently, with many in our community calling for a different and better way of doing things.
It’s a long-overdue and important kōrero that frankly, we’re delighted to see happening.
We all agree change is needed, the question is what that change looks like and how it’s funded.
Taranaki Regional Council is responsible for public transport in our region, operating the Citylink, Connector, Southlink and most school bus services.
It’s been a busy year for staff working in public transport, launching the real-time bus tracker Transit app, introducing new services, implementing changing Government directives on free and half-price fares and improving timetables.
