The Otago Regional Council has listened to feedback from passengers and is adding some extra morning services to the reduced bus timetable in Dunedin.
The extra morning services will be added on weekdays when the reduced service timetable comes into effect on Tuesday 19 July.
“Passengers contacted us with feedback around the early departures on the new reduced timetable. We have worked with operators to update the timetable and facilitate additional morning services in light of this feedback,” says Doug Rodgers, Transport Manager.
“We would like to thank our passengers for the feedback which has helped us enhance the reduced service timetable. We also want to thank the bus operators for working hard to deliver this result.”
The council had previously worked with operators to maintain provision of services at school times as far as is possible.
“The driver shortage has restricted what we can do but we have ensured our school services remain operational, and these extra morning services will help those who start work before 8 am,” said Mr Rodgers.
Passengers should note that timetable information on the ORC website reflects the reduced timetable, without the earlier service additions. They will be updated in due course, but in the meantime information regarding these additions will be posted as website alerts and Transit App notifications.
Passengers are urged to check the website for alerts before setting out on their trip, or look for notifications on the Transit app. If there are cancellations, passengers will find the information on the ORC website or on the Transit app.
The Orbus Dunedin and Queenstown Facebook pages will also carry any major updates about the networks.
ORC also has a free number where passengers can talk to someone about how this affects their particular journey. The number in Dunedin is 0800 672 8736.
