Answer

I refer the Member to the attached table showing the average patronage for the Gisborne area school bus routes as of February 2025. As per my response to written parliamentary questions 7325 (2026), I have agreed with the Ministry’s advice to pause the implementation of the Term 2, 2026 changes to its Gisborne school bus services.
