This survey is for those who live in the areas surrounding Taupō.
The Connect-2-Taupō bus service is currently running as a trial under Waikato Regional Council’s Low Cost, Low Risk programme. It’s not yet a permanent service. The service currently connects Kinloch, Tokoroa, Mangakino, Acacia Bay, Turangi, and Wairakei with Taupō between Monday and Friday every week.
We’ve reviewed how the service is working and listened to feedback from communities and elected members. Based on this, we’re proposing changes to improve the service before applying to make it permanent.
The proposed changes involve:
Increasing trips on routes with higher demand (like Tokoroa and Tūrangi)
Reducing trips on routes with lower demand
Introducing a larger bus to better serve busy routes
Adjusting trip times to allow better vehicle utilisation
We’d love your feedback to help us understand what we’ve got right, what could be better, and how these changes might affect you.
For some areas, we may not be able to make immediate changes due to budget and vehicle constraints, however, your input will help shape future service planning.
