Nau mai, haere mai! Welcome to these bus drivers who’ve been in training, learning new routes and practising driving electric buses for the Orbus Dunedin team! 😁

They’re hitting the road and helping you to get where you need to go safely. We are stoked to have them on board with us. 😊

Reduced timetables on some bus routes have now finished, and we’re offering full services again. Thank you for your patience and understanding with the recent temporary changes.

Let’s show our support and appreciation for these amazing bus drivers! 🙌

(Don’t forget to thank your bus driver😊)
