Lower Hutt Bus Service (pilot) from Term 2

Katie Musk —

Everything you need to know!

Thank you to those families who submitted an expression of interest for a Lower Hutt bus service.    A total of 39 responses were received, 18 students indicated they would use the service in the afternoons each school day, with only 7 students interested in the morning service on a daily basis. A further 43 students would like to use the bus on various afternoons, with 12 students on various mornings.

Based on this result, we can confirm that there will be an afternoon service running in Term 2.  This is a one-way service only, departing school at 3.10pm and arriving at Petone Station at 3.42pm.  Unfortunately the morning service is not currently viable.
