Secondary school bus services from Ashhurst to Palmerston North will continue, for now, but other routes have been given the axe.
The Ministry of Education has since the end of last year been reviewing bus routes that service Palmerston North schools, but this week the ministry finally confirmed the changes.
Most of the changes would take place from term one next year, although five “temporary transitional Ashhurst township routes” to Palmerston North would remain and an update would be provided on the future of these services early next year.
