The Comet has landed in Hamilton!
Hi there fellow Hamiltonians!
It's Susi and the BUSIT customer focus team, based at the Transport Centre in the CBD. If you're looking to get from one end of the city to the other in record transit time - hop on a Comet!
You might have seen the shiny new fleet of orange and silver Comet buses travelling through Hamilton already. This new service is frequent like the Orbiter, except, the Comet travels in a straight line through the city!
Wait at any bus stop along the Comet route between Waikato Hospital and The Base and a Comet will zoom past to do pick-ups every 15 minutes, between 6.30am-7pm weekdays and half hourly evenings and weekends. Comet buses will also service the Mahoe and Glenview areas every half an hour between 6.30am-7pm weekends, and hourly evenings and weekends.
Call us on 0800 205 305 or come into the Transport Centre on the corner of Bryce St and Angelsea St to chat to a team member.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.7% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.3% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
