When is an eBus not an eBus, and what exactly is an eBus in the first place?<\/p>\n
These were questions that were pondered by Tasman district councillors during a recent meeting \u2013 who sought to clarify if the \u2018e\u2019 in the recently launched eBus service was for everybody, or if it in fact meant electric.<\/p>\n
During Thursday\u2019s operations committee meeting, councillor Mike Kininmonth said he and another councillor had been to the M\u0101pua and Districts Community Association that week, where had been some discussion about eBus and what \u2018e\u2019 stood for.<\/p>\n
\u201cA number of people present, grey haired like myself, said it was electric, and it was confirmed in the meeting that it is not \u2018e\u2019 for electric, but \u2018e \u2018for everybody. Is that true?<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd have you been having any sort of complaints because one of the buses that goes through M\u0101pua is not electric, it\u2019s diesel. Is that the reason why it’s \u2018e\u2019, because it\u2019s everybody\u2019s bus, not just electric?\u201d<\/p>\n
Transportation manager Jamie McPherson said the decision around the naming of the bus was made by the Joint Nelson Tasman regional transport committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
