Bus commuters to and from Whangarei will get a taste of new double-deckers over the next 12 months.
Mana Bus is launching 15 new buses, including 13 double-deckers at a cost of $10.5 million that offer more spacious layouts, scenic top-deck seating, additional table configurations, and Wi-Fi.
The new double-decker buses take 65 passengers and include reclining seats, power and usb points at every seat, free Wi-Fi, on-board toilets and are also wheelchair-friendly.
In an effort to make their buses more fuel efficient and environmentally-friendly, all 15 in the fleet will meet Euro 5 emission standards.
Mana Bus was launched in November 2014 and acquired Naked Bus in May 2015.
