The bus is the underdog of travel transport.
We endure hours in traffic jams and fork out for pricey air and train fares, often failing to consider the humble bus for anything but short trips within our local communities.
We’re missing out: from the tip of the North Island to the bottom of the South, New Zealand’s bus routes take in some of our most stunning scenery, from snow-capped mountains and beautiful beaches to cute towns and wine districts. And often for the fraction of the price you’d pay for more popular forms of transport.
