Te Ngaru The Tide

Te Ngaru The Tide is a new high frequency service running between Castlecliff and Aramoho, connecting a range of destinations – including Gonville, the hospital, the city and upper Victoria Ave shops.
 
All existing routes in Whanganui remain the same, and where possible you can connect from those routes to the Tide.

The Tide runs every 20 minutes in both directions.
Monday - Friday: 7am - 7pm
Saturday: 9am - 3pm
 
There is also an hourly night service on Fridays 7pm-11pm.

Survey now live

Te Ngaru The Tide isn't the only change to public transport in Whanganui recently. We've also collaborated with Whanganui District Council to improve bus stops and shelters across the city. You can learn more about that project here.

With all of these recent changes completed, we would like to hear your feedback on local public transport services and on-street bus stop facilities in Whanganui. The survey takes only 5-7 minutes to complete.

Every survey respondent is important – older, younger, car owner, non-car owner, those who walk, those who travel a lot, and those who don’t travel much.

This survey is anonymous, your individual responses will not be passed onto the Councils. SIL Research, an independent Market Research company, is conducting this survey on behalf of Horizons Regional Council.

At the end of this survey, you can go into the draw for 5 chances to win one of 5 x $100 supermarket vouchers.
