Wow, our old friends nzski who cop a fair serve in the whinges charge $5 return to the remarks! They want more people to use the buses and have done the right thing by making a trip up and back incredibly cheap! Start charging fares that match, like $2 to Fernhill or Frankton and people will flock to your service!

Wow! I only want to use twice a day - it still works out at $3.50 per trip per person and that's just too expensive. Lower your prices and people will use your service. You've priced yourself out of the game. Oh and what Tracey said.

Ignore all the knockers and moaners. At least you have got off your backside and tried to make something happen. I have used the service and have had no problems. I lived in London and the service is so expensive your service is a dream. People just have to commit to using it and it will become better.... and probably cheaper. The moaners are probably the people you will generally find give bad service where ever they work. Well done.

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:35:46 +1200 EQUAL RIGHTS http://www.lwb.co.nz/get-some-perspective/#PageComment_633 http://www.lwb.co.nz/connectabus-clarity-response-to-website-comments/#PageComment_632 Your service would be better used if it ran on time, was less expensive and the drivers treated their passengers with a little respect particularly the local school kids who frequent your service more than most and should not have to pay full fare, oh, and try obeying the road rules once in awhile too. Until then I'll keep driving my car as running it is still cheaper than your bus fares and I know I'll get to work on time.

Alex was commenting how great this place is and how brilliant it is that you don't have crime. Get the facts straight before you are so rude. You make yourself sound like you have a very big chip on your shoulder.

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:14:55 +1200 Brad http://www.lwb.co.nz/breaking-and-entering/#PageComment_628 http://www.lwb.co.nz/get-some-perspective/#PageComment_627 Well... you've really opened yourself for this one.. the stereotypical English tw*t. How can you possibly put a negative spin on the fact that our crime section of the local paper DOESN'T include reference to "on the weekend is 3 people got stabbed, taxi driver beaten, kids selling heroin at school aged 12, Asian man beated by 4 whites, oh yeah and the bank got robbed". It's great that the only thing we have is people stealing pies and piddling in the street. Go back to Manchester, if you've got nothing better than to complain our lack of crime, take you, your knife and your crappy football team and go HOME Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:16:15 +1200 orright geezer http://www.lwb.co.nz/get-some-perspective/#PageComment_627 http://www.lwb.co.nz/vanishing-vacancies/#PageComment_626 Just remember we live in a small town and we can not expect big city amenities without paying for them. I lived in Wellington and if I wanted to drive to work I paid $20 for parking (that was the cheap option) and walked ages to get to it. Otherwise I took the train which was not that cheap, was late and creapy at night. Q'twon will never get cheaper buses if the COuncil keeps putting in more car parks so everyone can drive and park outside where they want to be, and if they did how many people would want to come here and see what they see at home?? Ever heard of the song "big yellow taxi?"..they pulled down the trees to put up a parking lot.."
