More trips are being taken on buses in the region with new figures from Taranaki Regional Council showing an 18% rise in public transport patronage in 2023. The data reveals buses in Taranaki carried a total of 744,037 passengers across 42,973 bus trips last year, showcasing the community's growing reliance on public transport. The year also saw the Transit app, a free real-time bus journey and planning tool, go from strength to strength and continue to gain popularity among bus users, boasting
of global conservation efforts and the role that Pukeiti plays in preserving rhododendrons for future generations. We remain committed to our mission and look forward to continuing our work with both local and international partners. Andrew Brooker

The section of road that we walk is about 50-metres and has a clear vision to the North of
about 500 metres. There is a good two-metre verge on the side we walked on.
