The Airport to Massey bus line, the improved Ashhurst to Palmerston North route and more frequent buses at weekends are where the city’s new all-electric bus service has started recording surges in passenger numbers.
Horizons’ passenger transport committee has reviewed the first three months of data for patronage of the new service that was launched on March 4 at its meeting on Tuesday.
Former committee member Chris Teo-Sherrell, a long-term advocate for better bus services, said the new network was impressive.
