The Thames Connector public bus service will be extended for a year after a successful six-month trial.
A new daily record was set in late April with a passenger count of 94.
Because the trial was successful, the service now qualifies for a New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) subsidy of 51 per cent, which will begin on May 14.

NZTA will also reimburse SuperGold Card passengers over 65, who travel at no charge. The remainder of the cost of the service will be paid by Thames Community Board.

San Francisco Subsidence Study Suggests We Are Grossly Underestimating the Risk to Thames

A new US study says when land subsidence is considered areas at risk of sea flooding could be twice what had been estimated from sea level rise only. Some San Francisco suburbs are sinking at 10mm per year because they are built on natural mud deposits or are landfill sites that are still compacting. On Thames’ foreshore we have closely matching mud deposits, landfill conditions and even higher rates of subsidence. So, it is highly likely we are grossly underestimating the risk of coastal flooding to our township.
