Horizons Regional Council is getting into the spirit of Christmas and doing some giving
in the lead up the big day.
The council is offering 1000 free trips on its Wanganui bus services this month, a break with tradition from the usual free weekend service leading up the December 25.
Anne Redgrave, the council's transport manager, said Horizons wanted to take a different tack this festive season.
"In the past we've put on free buses but they've only really been well utilised by those who use the bus already. While it's important to recognise our regular passengers, this year we've decided to give tickets to both current and potential bus users, providing people with an opportunity to give the bus a go,'' she said.
