FAQ
What happens after the trial has concluded?
The Public Transport Authority (PTA) will review the trial at the end of the period, and depending on patronage numbers, will choose to extend or cancel the service. Using public transport in place of driving reduces traffic congestion, and at the same time allows bus patrons time to read, listen to music and relax on their way to work!
