New Zealand is moving into COVID Alert Level 4 lockdown at 11:59pm tonight.

At Alert Level 4, public transport is only available to people travelling to work in essential services, for medical reasons, and to get to the supermarket.


Please DO NOT take the bus during lockdown unless you are considered an essential worker or need to access essential services and the bus is the only option available to you.
If you must travel, please use window seats and sit alone, so as to adhere to physical distancing which is required at Alert Level 4. Due to these requirements, bus capacity will be limited, see below.

Wear a mask and scan COVID QR codes. 

To keep up to date go to Orbus Dunedin Facebook or Orbus Queenstown Facebook or check our website or the government COVID website
 
Timetable information
In Dunedin all routes will run a Saturday service, with the exception of Palmerston/route 1 which will be on a weekday service, as of tomorrow.
If you are not sure what times those are, check out current timetable on a Saturday https://www.orc.govt.nz/OrbusDN

We can confirm that Queenstown will continue with the current services and we will evaluate whether to move to a reduced service tomorrow.
