New bus fares

Frequent users are set to be rewarded under a new pricing structure for buses in the Manawatū-Whanganui region.

Horizons Regional Council transport services manager Mark Read said all fares on Connect services will move to a zone structure from January 1.

“Instead of different prices for each service, the price will be based on how far people travel,” he said.

“A trip within a single zone will cost the same no matter where you live, with the price then increasing at a consistent rate as you travel through zones.
