We’re trialling new bus stop signs at 33 bus stops in Tauranga to make it easier for passengers to check live bus information while they’re at the stop.
The new signs include a QR code that links directly to live departure information for that bus stop.
There are no changes to routes, timetables or bus stops as part of this trial.
What’s new?
The updated bus stop signs include a QR code you can scan with your smartphone to check:
- When the next bus is due
- Live arrival information for that stop
- Which services stop there
Simply open your smartphone camera, point it at the QR code on the sign, then tap the link that appears on your screen.
Some older Android devices may need a separate QR code scanning app.
What if I don’t use a smartphone?
You can still check bus information in the usual ways:
- Visit baybus.co.nzopen_in_new
- Call 0800 4 BAYBUS (0800 4 229 287)
- Pick up a printed timetable from a Bay of Plenty Regional Council customer service centre, library or information centre
