The Hawke's Bay Regional Council's public transport service GoBay is launching a new service linking Bay View and Napier from this coming Monday.
The service will be available six days a week, four times a day linking Bay View with Napier. Council said it had been "timed to meet the needs of commuters and shoppers".
Hawke's Bay Regional Council transport co-ordinator John Adams says the new service is being launched following consultation showing strong demand from Bay View residents for a bus service to the area.
He says school students will also be able to use the new service to connect with other services at the Napier Library.
"Students can leave Bay View at 7.15am and connect to another service in plenty of time for school," Mr Adams said.
