A better bus service for our Huntly, Ohinewai and Te Kauwhata neighbours!

The Team from BUSIT

Hi there neighbours! Thank you for your feedback on how we can improve the 21 Northern Connector bus route! We are excited to say that improved bus services started coming your way from Monday 1 April.

What you need to know:
- The 21 Northern Connector is now extending further into Huntly. The service will still run hourly weekdays to Huntly Main Street but will then continue on and service Huntly East and West every alternate trip.
- The Huntly Internal service will now no longer operate due to the Northern Connector service extending into Huntly East and West.
- The 21 Northern Connector will now have extended operating hours during weekdays, with the first service leaving Hamilton and Huntly at 6am and travelling through until 7.50pm from Hamilton and 6.57pm from Huntly Main Street. Please note there will be no longer be a 9pm service from the Transport Centre via the Base on Thursday nights.
- The new Comet bus service launched on Monday 1st April and runs between the hospital and the Base via the CBD every 15 mins (weekdays) and half hourly (evenings/weekends). This service will replace the Transport Centre to Base separate trip on the 21 Northern Connector.
- The Te Kauwhata service will now travel via Ohinewai - this means the service will leave Te Kauwhata 10 minutes earlier in the morning at 6.50am.

21 Northern connector double decker news:
From Monday 1 April the double decker bus will start on the Huntly/Horotiu Assist route which will mean timetable and route changes.
- The bus will now leave Huntly 20 minutes earlier at 7am.
- The Huntly Assist and the Horotiu Assist routes are combining.
- Bus will arrive at Horotiu around 7.30am.
- The bus will travel via Wairere Dr and Hukanui/Peachgrove Rd. This means that Clarkin Rd and River Rd will not be served. Fairfield Intermediate and Fairfield College students will now need to walk to stops on Peachgrove Rd.

Please check the timetable before travelling as many times have changed. Find out everything you need to know to travel with us here or call us on 0800 205 305.

Can you crack Today’s neighbourhood conundrum?

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?
