Public Transport in Thames
Yesterday I presented the case for a public transport service in Thames to the Thames Community Board. More detail on my blog here - teggtalk.wordpress.com... and a copy of the presentation is attached also
I received a very receptive hearing from the Board members and District Councillors present. It will now be up to the politicians to decide whether Thames will have a public transport service. If you support the proposal then I would urge you to contact all of the board members, local councillors, and the mayor. Their email addresses and phone numbers can be found on the Thames-Coromandel District Council website.
The proposal is for a 15 seater minibus hourly service commencing at 9 AM with six circuits of the town, the last at 2 PM – Monday to Friday. The service is targeted at the elderly and others who do not have access to a vehicle. The proposed route would commence at Bupa/Tararu, divert into Moanataiari, then into the CBD/Goldfields, past the hospital. From there the service would go south down Pollen Street, then loop up into hill suburbs, down Brunton Crescent and out to Parawai/Booms/Bupa and back more directly through Banks Street and Rolleston Street to the CBD.
