PLANNING YOUR JOURNEY Use this booklet or our online journey planner at www.orc.govt.nz/buses to figure out what bus you should take and what time you can catch it. Need help? Give us a call: 03 474 0287. 2. CATCHING YOUR BUS We recommend getting to your stop a few minutes before the listed time – times at individual bus stops along the way are a best estimate and can vary depending on factors like traffic and number of times the bus has stopped along the way. Signal the driver with your hand when the bus is in sight. Your driver will appreciate it if you raise your hand with plenty of time for them to stop safely. Some stops are used by more than one service, so check the number on the front to see if it’s your bus. 3. PAYING FOR YOUR RIDE You can pay your fare using your GoCard or cash. It costs less with GoCard. If you’re using a GoCard, place it on the scanner and tell the bus driver your destination or the number of zones you want to travel – and show your ID if you’re eligible for any concessions. Fares and zones are on pages 12-13. 4. ON THE BUS When you’re taking the bus we ask you to follow our Code of Conduct (page 80) for everyone’s safety and comfort. 5. HOW TO GET OFF THE BUS When the bus is approaching the stop where you want to get off, press the button once. Let your bus driver know if you need help getting off. Not sure about exact bus stop locations? Ask your driver for advice. 7 The planned bus hub The planned bus hub is intended to be the heart of the new network, where buses and people meet. It’s intended that almost all urban bus services will travel through here, so you can connect with the city as well as easily transferring from one service to another to access the whole network. GoCards GoCards are a great way to get the most out of your journey – you pay less than a cash fare and get a free 30-minute transfer within the same zone. Get your GoCard from your driver on urban buses, our offices at 70 Stafford St, Dunedin City Council, or University Bookshop. Refer to rear section of this booklet for details regarding available concessions.
