Waitara and Inglewood residents can jump aboard a free bus to the Festival of Lights this summer, thanks to Taranaki Regional Council.
Return bus services will run from Queen St, Waitara on December 20 and January 5. On December 22 and January 18, return busses will run from Moa St, Inglewood.
Each bus will leave at 7pm and return at 10.15pm, allowing passengers plenty of time to take in the sights and sounds of the festival. The busses will drop off and pick people up at the Fillis St gate.
The council also provided free bus for the Waitara Night Market last month in conjunction with New Plymouth District Council.
Taranaki Regional Council transport manager Cheryl Gazley says she hopes people will take advantage of the Festival of Lights buses for a fun night out.
