Regular buses are to start running along the West Coast again, a month after the company that operates the service said it couldn’t do so without continued Government support.
InterCity will resume its operations between Nelson and Queenstown from December 12, increasing the three-day-a-week service it operated through Covid, to four days a week.
The service was suspended on November 1, when government funding used to keep it running through the pandemic ended.
InterCity said at the time there were too few tourists in the country to prevent the company running a “loss making” service, and urged the government to reconsider its funding.
