Published 7 Apr 2025 10AM

Bus stop locations and some route timetables have changed. Here’s what you need to know.

The temporary bus interchange on Durham Street along with nearby stops on Wharf Street and the Grey Street bus stop are closed.

Buses that used these stops are now picking up and dropping off from six new bus stops on southern Durham Street, between Spring Street and Elizabeth Street. This is about 200 metres south of the old interchange, just a short walk away.

Route changes

Major changes

These routes have the biggest updates. Check your timetable carefully.

Route 52x

Morning trips heading out of the city have been removed due to low demand. If you used this service, please check for alternative options. View the new Route 52x timetableopen_in_new.

Routes 70 and 71

These services have been replaced by a new combined Route 7 to simplify the network while maintaining key connections. Route 7 starts and ends in Tauranga City. This means you can catch the bus from anywhere on this route and travel into the city. View the new Route 7 timetableopen_in_new.

Routes 80 and 81

Several trip start times are changing. Route 80 now includes Morton Road on all trips. Afternoon departure times have been adjusted to better support student transfers from Toi Ohomai. View the new Route 80 timetableopen_in_new and new Route 81 timetableopen_in_new.

Other updates

Smaller changes that may still affect your daily travel.

Route 2

A new school-day trip has been added from The Boulevard towards the city to help ease overcrowding. View the new Route 2 timetableopen_in_new.

Route 5

We have changed the location we use to track when the bus is due. It is now Mt Drury instead of Salisbury Avenue. There is no change to the route or timetable, but it may affect how your trip appears online. View the new Route 5 timetableopen_in_new.

Route 22

Trips from Maungatapu to the city will have slightly earlier start times (up to 5 minutes). View the new Route 22 timetableopen_in_new.

Routes 40 and 55

We have added more time to some afternoon peak trips to help with on-time arrivals. View the new Route 40 timetableopen_in_new and new Route 55 timetableopen_in_new.

Updated timetables for other routes 

These timetables have been updated to include the new Durham Street city interchange stops.
