A new high-frequency, cross-town bus service is getting ready to roll in Hamilton from late August 2023.
The Meteor – to sport an orange livery similar to the existing Comet service – will travel between Rotokauri and Silverdale in both directions from 28 August.
It extends the high-frequency BUSIT network, adding to the Comet’s north to south run and the Orbiter, which circles the city clockwise and anti-clockwise.
On the western side of town, the Meteor will travel from Rotokauri Road through Nawton, Dinsdale, Frankton and the CBD before crossing the river to Hamilton East, Hillcrest, Ruakura and the University of Waikato, ending at Nevada Road, Silverdale.
Waikato Regional Council said the service is designed to be quick and convenient.
