Northlanders could choose Shanks' pony or catch a free bus on Carfree Day, on Friday next week.
It is a day when people all over the world are encouraged to do without their vehicles for 24 hours in favour of cycling, walking and public transport.
The Northland Regional Council has teamed up with Northland's four public transport services which collectively make up the BusLink network to offer free rides on their respective fleets to mark Carfree Day.
The BusLink companies are Whangarei-based CityLink, Hokianga Link, Mid North Link and Kaitaia's Far North Link.
"Free Ride Day" trips will be available throughout the day, including the Hokianga Express and the Mid North Link's Route 3 from Kaikohe to Kerikeri, which don't normally operate on a Friday.
