Durie Hill residents will be able to catch a free bus to and from the city while the Durie Hill elevator is closed.
The elevator is not operating while its entrance is upgraded and the lift car undergoes maintenance.
Whanganui District Council will provide the free shuttle service during peak
hours on weekdays from Monday, February 22, until the elevator reopens in about 11 weeks, property general manager Leighton Toy said.
A Take It Easy Tours nine-seater shuttle bus service will run every 10-15 minutes during peak times.
"We're very pleased to have been able to secure this service," Toy said.
