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.
