Confusion caused by changes to Wanganui's bus routes has left one young mother preferring to walk.
Hannah Terrey spent half an hour waiting for a bus in Maria Pl in December, before a member of the public told her the main stop was now in St Hill St outside Trafalgar Square Shopping Centre.
She wasn't the only one waiting. She said there was another woman with a baby and an older woman waiting too. She was so annoyed that she's been walking since then.
The change to the main stop happened on December 5.
It was advertised in newspapers, on the radio and on buses, Horizons transport planner Wayne Wallace said.
"There are always going to be some people who don't get the message."
Signs telling the public were put up in the western bus shelters of Maria Pl, he said, but they were quickly ripped down.
There are now signs in each of the four bus shelters in Maria Pl. Information about the changes to routes, timetables and fares is available online, by email and through a phone number.
Ms Terrey and her friend Chantelle Dean were also angry about the lack of signage in Tawa St, where the bus route has been changed and one bus shelter is no longer on it.
Ms Dean has been nipping out of her house to warn people waiting there that no bus will come.
The bus stop sign on the shelter has been taken down now. Mr Wallace said the shelter structures were the responsibility of Wanganui District Council, to either remove or leave in place.
Adding to Ms Terrey's annoyance, some of the streets listed in the timetable for the Castlecliff route are wrong.
The main change to that route was to create a new stop near the front entrance of Wanganui Hospital, something a lot of people wanted, Mr Wallace said.
