Tauranga is next in line for bike racks on buses after Bay of Plenty Regional Council completed the roll-out in Rotorua today.
The Bay of Plenty's Public Transport Committee met today to receive an overview of bike rack usage in Rotorua and other centres around New Zealand.
Committee chairman Lyall Thurston said the implementation of racks in Rotorua had just been completed and was too early to gauge how many bus users were taking advantage of the bike racks.
However, he said a positive impact on bus passengers could be seen in other regions which use the racks.
"Bus racks allow people to travel a much greater distance to and from their bus stop, and their eventual destination," he said.
