AN absence of tourists has been blamed for a reduction in bus services here.
From March 8, InterCity will operate four services a week instead of daily services in each direction between Gisborne and Napier.
Sam Peate, from NZ Coachlines, said InterCity services along the East Coast route were popular
with visitors to the region.
But with the ongoing closure of borders to international tourists, passenger numbers had been severely impacted.
“As a result we have had to reduce our frequency to ensure the viability of this route and communities it services,” said Mr Peate.
