Your Connector school bus timetable changes from 30 October

Taranaki Regional Council has made these changes following public feedback in March and based on real-time data collected over the past 10 months.

We’re excited to deliver a timetable that allows students more options to get to Stratford High School and New Plymouth based high schools, especially from Inglewood as there is no longer the requirement for students to transfer buses in the New Plymouth CBD.

The route 98 service will still run as usual.
