New Zealand: Bus disruptions to occur in Hawke's Bay Jan. 23-27 due to staff shortage

Event

Bus disruptions will occur in Hawke's Bay Jan. 23-27 due to multiple factors, including an ongoing staff shortage. GoBay transportation authorities have indicated that the disruptions will impact routes 12H, 12N, 13, 20, and 21.

Lingering disruptions may occur beyond Jan. 27. Available bus services will likely experience crowding; demand for alternative modes of transportation will probably be higher. Increased traffic congestion is likely as persons who would normally use Hawke's Bay's bus network resort to driving their personal vehicles.

Advice

Consider using alternative modes of transportation for time-sensitive travel. Allow extra time to reach destinations due to likely increased traffic congestion and demand for alternative transportation.
