What do you think of new bus services to Whangarei Heads?
Northland Regional Council is trying new bus services to Whangarei Heads.
‘Whangarei Heads Link’ will leave the corner of Reotahi and Whangarei Heads Rd at 9am on Thursdays, stopping at McLeod Bay playground, Parua Bay, Manganese Point, Tamaterau and Waikaraka for a 40-minute journey to the city.
The return trip will depart Rose St (pictured) at 1.30pm, with rides costing $5 each way.
A holiday ‘Beach Bus’ will run to Ocean Beach on Thursdays from December 17, departing Rose St at 11am and departing Ocean Beach car park at 2.30pm. Trips will be $10 return.
What do you think? Would you use these buses?
