fuelled buses e.g.
electric. The transition to low-emission vehicles needs to be factored into future development of
services. A separate study assessing suitable alternate fuelled bus options and costs has already
been planned and will be completed in 2020/2021.

Recent commentary on Taranaki's bus services
reflect a high level of public interest and
support for public transport, says the Council's
Transport Services Manager, Chris Clarke.
But he says higher patronage is needed to
drive change and further improvement, taking
Taranaki forward and improving our lifestyle.
Some have suggested that smaller buses could
be used to cater for off-peak services when
there are fewer passengers.
"However, during morning and afternoon peak
electric transport. It is still environmentally heavy (power from non-sustainable sources, batteries
production). If TRC goes for electric buses I would like to see smaller buses and improved frequency (30 min or so each
route)
Comments noted. Moves to electric transport will be
largely determined by national policy settings, rather than
regional ones.
An expanded range of public transport services will require
a collaborative effort from NZTA, NPDC and the TRC to be
successful. There
been
written with the help of two transport officers
from the Taranaki Regional Council with
assistance from the New Plymouth District
Council. It will include a special publication
written by a young man with disabilities who
loves buses and is learning how to catch a bus
to visit his family. There are lots of role play
exercises, topics for debate, research activities
and fun exercises. The mini unit will be available
for downloading from the Council website
