Thames Bus Service a Success
The Thames Connector public bus service will be extended for a year after a successful six-month trial.
A new daily record was set in late April with a passenger count of 94.
Because the trial was successful, the service now qualifies for a New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) subsidy of 51 per cent, which will begin on May 14.
NZTA will also reimburse SuperGold Card passengers over 65, who travel at no charge. The remainder of the cost of the service will be paid by Thames Community Board.
