The roll-out of Nelson Tasman’s new bus services has been pushed back a month because of a delay in the electric buses’ arrival.
The new bus service was set to start rolling on July 1, but instead will start from August 1.
Nelson City Council group manager infrastructure Alec Louverdis said all 17 electric buses had recently left China on the same boat and were destined for Auckland.
Due to “delays in accessing international ports”, their journey would take eight weeks by sea.
