National bus network InterCity is expanding Northland operations following routes that had been suspended due to the COVID-19 level 4 lockdown.
From July 1, services will travel between Kaitaia and Whangarei, with connections through to Auckland on existing routes. Its services to Kerikeri and Whangarei resumed on May 28.
The company also recently resumed its South Island operations between Nelson and Queenstown plus Christchurch and Queenstown.
Chief executive John Thorburn says the company is excited to resume services to the Far North and reconnect the area.
“It’s great to be able to resume these services, as we know they provide a vital link for local communities,” he says.
The services will operate on a reduced schedule, four days per week. InterCity expects to announce the restart of more suspended services in the coming weeks. Go to intercity.co.nz for bookings.
