The Comet has landed in Hamilton!
Hi there fellow Hamiltonians!
It's Susi and the BUSIT customer focus team, based at the Transport Centre in the CBD. If you're looking to get from one end of the city to the other in record transit time - hop on a Comet!
You might have seen the shiny new fleet of orange and silver Comet buses travelling through Hamilton already. This new service is frequent like the Orbiter, except, the Comet travels in a straight line through the city!
Wait at any bus stop along the Comet route between Waikato Hospital and The Base and a Comet will zoom past to do pick-ups every 15 minutes, between 6.30am-7pm weekdays and half hourly evenings and weekends. Comet buses will also service the Mahoe and Glenview areas every half an hour between 6.30am-7pm weekends, and hourly evenings and weekends.
Call us on 0800 205 305 or come into the Transport Centre on the corner of Bryce St and Angelsea St to chat to a team member.

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Giant tui takes flight on Te Awa River Ride Art Trail
Spotting a tui is usually enough to make anyone pause what they are doing to behold its beauty - but this one will definitely stop you in your tracks.
The tracks in this case are on the Te Awa River Ride, the new cycle and walking trail that runs alongside the Waikato River. A section of the route, between central Cambridge and the Grassroots Trust Velodrome, is in the process of becoming a grand outdoor art gallery.
