For the first time, double decker buses are operating on Waikato Regional Council's public bus network.
The two buses arrived in Hamilton last month and have been getting decked out in new livery. They rolled out on the Orbiter bus route in Hamilton for the first time on Monday.
Two more buses will join the BUSIT network — one each on the Raglan and Northern Connector routes — in May.
Waikato Regional Council worked with contracted bus operator Go Bus to introduce the double deckers to the fleet to create more capacity on some of the city's most popular bus routes.
