Great bus service. I'm also very impressive with the passionate drivers. Surely the joy rides for passengers.

Nice to see bike racks on it

Sounds good, but what about Durie hill? Why don't we have a bus service up here Anthony?

[@bennyssen5821]

Empty buses clogging our streets. Our house now has 420+ buses going past every week. This is Wanganui, not Brisbane or Auckland. No one is using them and mostly one ore two passengers on a 34 seat bus. This project has failed and don't burden the Wanganui ratepayers with this service. Looking forward to the trial completion and peace in our street again.

The busses run empty all day

[@OliverDevine-i5b]

I’ve never seen more than three people in these busses. It’s a complete waste of our rates money

Buses are always empty. Good way to clog up city roads. Well done.
