Free buses for all to get behind climate strikes in Bay of Plenty

The Bay of Plenty Regional Council is getting behind the city's youth to put on free buses for all for the Intergenerational Strike 4 Climate event next week.

The strike will take place next Friday at the south end of The Strand from 12pm.

As a response to this, the council have agreed to provide free BayHopper bus transport for everyone on that day.

On a post from Student Strike 4 Climate, it said they were excited that the strike would be accessible for everyone and it woould make lower emission travel "cheaper and easier for us all."

A spokesman from the council confirmed that there would be free buses for adults, children and students on the Climate Change Strike day next Friday across the region.
