Horizons public transport networks have mostly returned to regular timetables. Please see our bus notices page for full timetable information. We want to keep our community safe. It’s really important that each time you use the bus, your trip details and contact information are recorded. This is so we can provide this information to the Ministry of Health if it is required. Every time you use the bus, we encourage you to either call us on 0508 800 800, or fill in this form. For further important information for travelling on public transport during Alert Level 1 see here.
