New flexible public transport options are being suggested to fill the gaps created by Palmerston North’s new electric, faster and more direct bus services.
A petitioner and opponent of the overhaul of the city’s bus services has urged Horizons Regional Council to research three possible options to help people left stranded in their homes too far away from bus stops.
Submitting on the council’s long-term plan on Wednesday, Robyn Douglas said removing buses from 16 whole street lengths and creating routes that ran past – rather than through – several neighbourhoods had created clear and harmful gaps in the service.
