Success: Corsty back!

The Otago Regional Council met today (Thursday, 13 March 2014).

Corstorphine is back the way it was, starting this July. We still need to campaign to get the buses to continue up the main street a bit past the Octagon.

It looks like the Peninsula service won't be cut back from Harington Point either.

Thanks everyone for ongoing support for this successful Bus Go Dunedin: Bus Users Support Group Ōtepoti Dunedin campaign.

Draft minutes of our inaugural meeting

Inaugural Meeting of Bus Go Dunedin, held 7pm, Wednesday 13th November 2013 at 7 Montpellier Street, Dunedin.

Some matters/problems/suggestions contributed by members of the public who turned up ( Note that these are not necessarily views held by the group):

- Have to wait half an hour in town when transferring buses.

- There is a problem between the City Council and Regional Council. The Regional Council decides the routes, and when they change the routes there are no shelters, which are looked after by the City Council.

- Timetables too small, hard to understand.

- Buses are too infrequent after 6pm.

- Want transport on Christmas Easter etc., these are days when elderly people need access.

-The St Kilda service is too infrequent.

- focus on prov…
