Bus Service Updates
From Saturday 1 July the Picton bus service will become a permanent public transport option while the Renwick service will cease operation. Assets and Services Committee Chair David Croad said the numbers speak for themselves with the service averaging 257 passengers a month in the last financial year. While these services have been made permanent, the Blenheim to Renwick service will cease operation on Friday 30 June as due to a significant decline in patronage, the Renwick bus service is no longer financially viable. The service, which began as a trial in 2020, offered four trips on a Tuesday and Thursday, and two trips on a Saturday, included Marlborough Airport.
