Public transport advocates will front the Taranaki Regional Council on Monday to call for changes to the bus network to bring New Plymouth in line with other cities across the country.
The majority of submissions to the Better Travel Choices for Taranaki policy want a more frequent service on the most popular routes, shorter trips and weekend options.
Anthonie Tonnon, who represents the Whanganui District Council on public transport issues on the Horizons Regional Council, is one of 42 submitters scheduled to speak.
While he would be submitting in a personal capacity, Tonnon plans to urge councillors to look closely at the changes made in Whanganui, where patronage has spiked since a service called Te Ngaru, The Tide, was introduced this year.
