Waitangi Day - Free Buses

by Executive Secretary - Sharon

Interim Manager Transport Doug Rodgers says the ORC is again funding the free buses so passengers can get to and from the Ōtākou Marae on the Peninsula on Waitangi Day; Monday, 6 February. “Buses are free and the service is available for anyone who wants to attend the ceremony,” says Mr Rodgers. Buses will pick up from the regional bus stop at the Bus Hub in central Dunedin, then call at Bayfield Park, MacAndrew Bay and Portobello before dropping passengers at Tamatea Road. There will be four buses for morning departures to the Marae, stopping at a further three pick-up places, and later in the afternoon three buses will be used on the return to central Dunedin, also dropping off passengers at the same places.

Road Safety

by Queen's High School

Please refrain from driving into the school grounds before and after school - these are busy times with all girls walking into and out of school. Please do not park on the yellow lines or the bus stops on the surrounding streets; this is becoming a real hazard especially on Surrey Street and compromises the safety of our girls. It would be great if you could drop the girls a block away from school to help with congestion. Please slow down around our school to 40kph.
