Manukau East Shopping Shuttle
Playing it safe at Alert Level 2
The Manukau East Shopping Shuttle plays a crucial role in helping elderly and vulnerable people in our community stay independent and active.
Because many of our volunteer drivers and companion shoppers also fall into the 70+/vulnerable category, we are playing it safe by ensuring that we will;
1. Have our friendly drivers and companion shoppers usher people to their seats in order that we can achieve the intent of social distancing guidelines.
2. Only carry passengers who pre-book with us on 0800 632 677 (This will ensure we meet our obligations with contact tracing).
3. Refuse travel to any passenger presenting with flu-like symptoms.
4. High-touch surfaces on the vehicle will be regularly disinfected.
