Pack the Bus launches today. What a great Christmas benefit for many in our community!
The festive season is fast approaching and Tranzit is once again part of Pack the Bus, an amazing Christmas gift and food drive that benefits the wider Wairarapa community. The initiative, which was only held in Masterton last year, was so successful it is being rolled out Wairarapa wide this month.
The idea of this campaign is to pack the Tranzit Coachlines bus full of donated Christmas gifts and treats (including non-perishable food items) which will be donated to the Wairarapa food banks, who in turn distribute them to individuals and families in need this Christmas.
Beginning on November 27th with a special launch at Property Brokers in Masterton, Pack the Bus will run for three weeks with several community “park-up” events being held in Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, Featherston and Martinborough. In addition, separate “park-ups” will be held at local schools and the bus will make a guest appearance at the Masterton, Greytown and Martinborough Christmas Parades

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
