From today Express bus commuters in Hawke’s Bay have access to two new bigger buses.
The 34-seater buses are twice the size of the existing vehicles and have wheelchair access and bike racks at the front. They are set to replace the smaller buses currently servicing the Express Service via Clive (Route 11).
Hawke’s Bay regional council transport manager Anne Redgrave says the Route 11 Express via Clive has been one of GoBay’s most valuable services.
“On a really busy day we have had passengers standing on the bus. These new vehicles will double the capacity and solve that problem,” she points out.
She adds they are grateful to the bus operator, Go Bus, for its cooperation in working with GoBay to update and improve the bus fleet in Hawke’s Bay.
The new buses come ahead of a number of other developments intended for Hawke’s Bay’s public transport later this year.
