A trial using 14-seater “Sprinter” buses will connect southern areas around the city to Hamilton’s bus network following public demand.
The two trial services will cover Matangi and Tamahere, and start on Monday 12 February, Waikato Regional Council said.
The Tauwhare Pā (27) service will make six return trips each day via Tauwhare Pā from Kahui Avenue, along Hoeka Roud and SH26 to Ruakura Road.
A Matangi-Tamahere (28) service will make seven return trips from Tamahere Eventide via Newell, Tauwhare, Matangi and Morrinsville Roads.
Both services terminate at the University of Waikato transport hub, inside Gate 1 on Knighton Rd, which has shops, amenities and several urban bus connections.
