Free Hamilton buses for youth this holidays!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

City buses will be free within the city for young people (aged 18 years and under) over the upcoming school holidays.

This follows a decision by Hamilton City Council in June to make buses free for young people on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays for travel within Hamilton boundaries – a service which started in July 2019.

Free youth travel is available on any bus within the Hamilton City boundary from Saturday 28 September until Sunday 13 October.

Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.

One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
