NZ Bus is disappointed with the announcement by Greater Wellington Regional Council today confirming that trolley buses will be phased out in 2017.
NZ Bus Chief Executive Officer Zane Fulljames comments “It does not appear that all options to retain some or all of the trolley services have been adequately considered, particularly as the city moves towards implementation of the transport spine in 2022.”
Nevertheless, Mr Fulljames continues, “NZ Bus supports the move to a fully electric future, provided there is an appropriate recognition that electric technologies are still immature and the timing pf the implementation is critical.
We look forward to working closely with the council to implement these fleet plans as the plans to integrate the network, ticketing and fares in the coming years.”
