We will now have 6 routes servicing the city, with the bus travelling mostly in both directions along the same routes. This will make it quicker and easier for people to get around Invercargill on the BusSmart City buses.

Due to the faster turnaround at the Tay Street Bus Hub, if you are catching a connecting route please let your bus driver know which service you are transferring to and they will inform the other driver for you.
