Designed for life in Tawa
Tawa’s a top place to live, but the hills are steep and getting around isn’t always easy…until now.
Tawa On Demand has launched. It’s a pilot service where you book, pay and ride via an app. Most residents can expect to be picked up within 50m of a virtual stop. There are four 17-seat vans. Each van can carry one wheelchair, and operates between 6.30am and 7.30pm Mondays to Fridays, and 8.30am to 9.30pm on Saturdays.
See website for Peak and Off-Peak Service details. Whether you’re going to the train, bus, shops, doctors, or the bakery, Tawa On Demand gets you.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
