Now we are national - nakedbus.com goes to the mainland!

31 January 2007

Thousands of South Islanders have emailed us about extending our low cost network to the mainland, and so today we are delighted to make this announcement:

From today, nakedbus.com®’s network is going national. That’s right, you can now travel on nakedbus®.com in the South Island . We have a dozen new services between Nelson in the north and Queenstown and Dunedin in the South, Christchurch in the east and Greymouth in the west. Most services are daily, and fares start at $1 (plus booking fee) on all routes. At least 10% of all seats are only $1.

Remember you won’t find better value anywhere. We are delighted to bring our service to almost everywhere in New Zealand. Now almost nobody has to put up with the high prices of other operators.

Here are some of our daily services:

  • Nelson to Blenheim, Picton, Golden Bay, and Christchurch
  • Christchurch to Timaru, Oamaru, and Dundedin
  • Christchurch to Tekapo, Wanaka and Queenstown
  • Nelson to Westport and Greymouth

Find details at nakedbus.com/routes and click on the South Island.

…and Dargaville too!

12 January 2007

Hot on the heels of our service to Whangarei, we are delighted to announce our new service to Dargaville. We operate 5 days a week between Auckland and Dargaville.

Again our fares start from $1 (plus 70c booking fee).

Why don’t you book now for summer?

Go North! (as far as Whangarei, anyway)

11 January 2007

Well this has been one of our most requested destinations, and at last we bring you Whangarei! Or more precisely Whangarei to Auckland. We now have a daily service each way between Whangarei and Auckland.

In Whangarei we pick up in Kamo, central Whangarei and the Hospital. In Auckland, as well as our central stop we have new stops in Takapuna, Albany and Orewa.

We also stop at other locations such as Warkworth and Wellsford.

We are the first bus into Auckland in the morning, and we also have a convenient evening departure from Auckland returning to Whangarei.

And all from $1 (plus 70c booking fee).

You can also connect across Auckland to Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupo, Napier and Hastings, as well as other smaller places. You must buy a separate ticket for each leg.

We think this is a great addition to our network and we hope you agree!

The routes are operational from tomorrow.

Fantastic idea - I am telling everyone I meet

-Debbie Corson

Friendly, courteous, polite & efficient

I know just how often people don’t let you know the good things … well, I would just like to pass on to you my highest praise for the driver from Whangarei to Auckland. He was friendly, courteous, polite, efficient and especially made the travel for my daughter and our international students easy and relaxing - especially as some had not previously used a city to city bus before, and none of us had used the nakedbus service.

His personality and manner is a credit to himself and to your company. We are all Naked Bus Converts now …. no more grumpy [competitor] bus for us!!

Well done to everyone!
