Bus to Orewa

Lynda from Army Bay

Hi everyone, in the proposed changes to the bus and ferries timetable, I note that once again we have been denied a straight through bus from Army Bay to Orewa. We are expected to go right past the turnoffs to Orewa, go to the station in Silverdale,, and then get a bus to Orewa. It’s ridiculous, time wasting, and of no use what so ever. Come on everyone, get behind this and make some noise about it. Just another reason at the moment, not to use the buses. Let’s see if we can change this.😃
