Wakefield Community Transport

Rachel from Mapua

The Nelson Tasman Community Transport Trust has recently bought an 8-seater Nissan Serena Hybrid, which is replacing the 12-seater bus we have been running on hire from the Wakefield Homestead. The transport is still currently running every Tuesday. However, now that we have our own bus, we are able to run it as often and when we like, provided there are enough volunteer drivers. One possibility we are currently exploring is to hire out the transport to groups or individuals. The hire rate is expected to be equivalent to the current bus fare of $5 for a return trip to Richmond with the vehicle half full. This would be about $25 for the distance from Wakefield to Richmond, equating to $5.50 per person including driver. If you can fill the vehicle to capacity, the cost per person would be even less.

The NTCTT is currently finalising the hire agreement form and procedures, but you can register your interest by texting or phoning 022 6822 373. You will be sent details on how to hire as soon as they have been finalised.

The vehicle will still be running the door-to-door service on Tuesdays as a bus for individuals who want to travel to Richmond for the $5 fare, or $4 from Brightwater. We would like to expand the service to at least two days per week provided there is sufficient interest and also volunteer drivers. If you would like to use the bus or would like further information, please phone or text 022 6822 373.
