GoBay’s new bus timetable, which was scheduled to start today, hit a “technical hitch” - meaning the new schedule didn’t appear online.
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council transport manager Mark Allan apologised to passengers and said the team was working on a resolution as a “priority”.
“We’ve been working incredibly hard on the reinstatement of these services alongside a revised bus timetable. Usually, it would take us up to three weeks to effectively communicate schedule changes across all our touchpoints.
“Due to community demand - with the Redclyffe Bridge re-opening - we very ambitiously tried to push this through in about five working days from confirmation of a new schedule from GoBay.”
Allan confirmed a short-term fix on GoBay’s website, involving a PDF of the revised schedule, has been completed and can be found at https://hbrc.info/GoBaytimetable.
