Check out the new NBus timetable and Stoke Loop
26/07/2018 2:09pm
The big changes for NBus start next week, Monday 30 July.
There will be timetable changes on all routes, so grab a copy of the new timetable from the depot in Bridge Street, on the bus or from the Council office in Trafalgar Street. You can also see it all online at nbus.co.nz.
Some services will be leaving earlier and some slightly later so please check the new timetable to avoid missing the bus or having a longer wait!
Stoke Loop
Next Monday will also see a revised Stoke Loop back on the road. The new service will cater more specifically for the needs of those who used the service before.
There are five services a day, starting from the Tennis Courts at Main Road Stoke and travelling around the suburb between Saxton Road East, Quarantine Road, The Ridgeway and Seaview Road.
The bus leaves at 9.15, 10.15, 11.15, 1.15 and 2.15 every weekday and takes almost an hour to complete the full loop, but passes through Central Stoke three times during the journey so you won’t need to spend the full hour on the bus.
Because of the hours it runs, the Stoke Loop is always FREE to Super Gold Card users. Otherwise there is a flat fare of $2.50 for adults and $1.50 for children (children under 5 are free on all NBus services).
The Stoke Loop remains a “Hail and Ride” service, so there is no need to wait at a formal bus stop. Just signal the driver and the bus will stop where it is safe to do so. You might be able to catch it right on your doorstep!
These changes will all come into effect from 30 July 2018.
