I have limited mobility and rely on buses. Rangiora Avenue has aged care city council flats and many disabled people living there. Most of this avenue is aged people who would be unable to walk 1-2 kms to catch another bus. There was no discussion with the community, I have a disability but I also work full time and pay rates, hence I’m already paying towards buses.Jacqueline Gray (Palmerston North, 2023-12-14)

Really, it is gobsmaking that they would reduce services to any neighborhoods for what is essentially a vanity project for this council. What happened to responsible money management?Electrifying all routes at once is a thoughtless and excessive fiscal burden for rates payers given that so many are struggling to make ends meet. It will also leave several unused non-electric busses in the yard with which to expand current services such as Ashurst and surrounds. Only replace these with electric as they expire.

I live on Vogel Street, near the Rangiora Ave intersection. The route-change will mean having to either walk quite a distance to Featherston St, or down the hill and crossing Main St, which is dangerous. I am well into my 70's and do not drive.ANNETTE ARDRON (PALMERSTON NORTH, 2023-12-14)

the bus routes need to stay as they will damage many lives if not there anymore.Grayson Edge (Manawatu - Palmerston North, 2023-12-28)

The new bus route and plan has not been designed with users in mind. It is going to cut off entire communities! As someone with chronic pain conditions I will not be able to use the bus service in this town anymore as I cannot walk to the closest bus stop, and I am not alone; you are cutting off people with disabilities, the elderly, from living our lives. This will devastate our city.Victoria Beckett (Palmerston North, 2024-01-08)

I know quite a few elderly that'll essentially be left without transport due to the new routes.Santana Howearth (Palmerston North, 2024-01-08)

Because it is unfair that the poorer areas do not have that stability anymore, that it won't be easy for anyone who is struggling and making it hard for students who have early classes. Not only that, but it doesn't decrease car usage, the way they have planned this is poor and will increase car usageElizabeth Moisson (Palmerston North, 2024-01-08)

I rely on the Cloverlea/ Milson bus route for health visits to Doctor, Optician, Diabetes centre and for supermarket shopping all on Broadway. All Broadway stops being removed.Anne Lascelles (Palmerston North, 2024-01-20)

I'm signing because the people living in Awapuni who use the current buses, do NOT have the ability to walk the extra Kilometers required to find the new bus stopsLinda Haddon (Palmerston North, 2024-01-20)

Councils don't care about poor people who can't afford cars and don't pay rates,still have to pay rents that are unbelievably expensive,don't mess with routes that are fine as they areMarika Linnewever-Witton (Palmerston North, 2024-01-28)

I am signing this petition because the Bus Routes will be adversely affected for people in my area (Roslyn) & other suburbs of Palmerston North.Andrew Phillips (Palmerston North, 2024-01-29)

We have people in our area (Highbury) who could end up being house bound because they may not be able to walk to the nearest bus stop. For petes sake - cater for people who "have" to use the public transport service and not those who "choose" to. Not everyone is young and fit.Te Muri Tatere-Beamsley (Palmerston North, 2024-01-30)

I'm signing because I'm absolutely disgusted that in a town that is supposed to be more eco friendly therefore encourages the use of public transport, you have taken away bus stops that allow our elderly and special needs people to have access to buses. I'd also like to add I don't like getting rid of something that is working to replace with an eco option. In time, sure phase to new electric buses as the old ones buses need replacing. We need the bus route to be able to use the buses for my special needs son and myself.Louisa Hardiment-Moss (Palmerston North, 2024-01-30)
