Free buses are on offer for anyone wanting to catch some of the AIMS Games action from this weekend.
Bay of Plenty Regional Council and Tauranga City Council are offering the buses to all NZCT AIMS Games athletes and their supporters as the week-long tournament kicks off in Tauranga on Sunday.
This year the games have a record 9300 competitors taking part and the buses are designed to help ease traffic congestion.
The park and ride service will be available in Mount Maunganui anyone wanting a ride, with parking at ASB Baypark and buses running to Blake Park and the Mount Maunganui Hot Pools, and back, every 30mins.
All athletes, coaches and referees - anyone with an official wristband - will also get free Bayhopper bus services throughout Tauranga for the duration of the tournament.
