Rotorua's Pukuatua St bus stop is on the move after a number of changes to the city's bus routes were announced yesterday.

The Rotorua Daily Post asked members of the public about their opinion.

Are you happy with the decision to move the city's main bus stop from Pukuatua St to Arawa St?

Yes, it will be much better. Because the commuters here are not too happy about being across the road from a certain place. They should have done it ages ago.

It's a good idea because it's a nicer part of town. It can be a bit intimidating here.

Yes and no. Yes because it will be further away from Winz, and no because of the elderly who have already lost a bus stop on Amohau St. But I'm open to the idea and am keen to see how it works. A change is as good as a rest.

No, it's not a good idea. This is central to everywhere in town. They may as well move it to the Lakefront. It's a stupid idea.

It's too far away from the centre of town. No, I don't like it.

I don't use the bus but my children do. Their grandmother works across the road, so it's safe for them here. So no, I'd rather it stayed where it is now.
