You are not alone. Many people feel unsure about using the bus, especially if it has been a while since their last trip.
There are a couple of special opportunities coming up in the next few weeks for you to travel on our eBus together with Age Concern staff and volunteers.
These trips are a simple way to give it a go with support, so you can build confidence along the way, which means ultimately you can stay independent and continue to get out and about.
Just take your Bee Card, SuperGold Card, and some money for a cuppa and maybe a bite to eat.
The first outing is on Monday 18 May to McGlashen Pottery in Brightwater on the Route 6 express. It will leave at 10.21 am from the Richmond Interchange, arriving at 10.34 am in Brightwater.
You’ll visit the renowned pottery studio, meet the new owners, enjoy a factory tour, and admire the finished products, returning to Richmond afterwards.
The next day trip is on the Route 5 express to Motueka on Wednesday 3 June. It will leave the Richmond interchange at 8.57 am, arriving in Māpua at 9.25 am, and getting into Motueka at 9.54 am.
You can visit the Motueka District Museum to see the touring Colossal Squid exhibition, followed by an early lunch before returning to Richmond via Māpua.
You can join anywhere along the routes. For more information contact Jackie at Age Concern on 021 195 8108 or email [email protected].
