Te Ngaru The Tide karakia and first service

Whanganui District Council, in association with Horizons Regional Council, invites the community to join a karakia before the very first Te Ngaru The Tide service heads out towards the city, Gonville and Castlecliff.

The karakia will start at 8.00am and the first service will depart at 9.00am. Bus rides for the week starting Saturday 18 February will be free on all routes, to celebrate the launch of Te Ngaru The Tide in Whanganui.

The second Te Ngaru The Tide service will leave from Castlecliff Beach at 9:15am, providing a great way to get to and from the Whanganui River Market. For more information about Te Ngaru The Tide visit https://www.horizons.govt.nz/buses-transport/the-tide

The Horizons team will be holding a stall at the River Market throughout Saturday, 18 February – you can pick up a free Bee card from their stall while stocks last.

With free bus rides on all urban Whanganui buses from 18-25 February It's a great time to try Te Ngaru The Tide. To plan your trip and track your ride with real time information, download the Transit app on Apple or Google Play.
