Well done, Brenda Williams, to ask why there is no bus service to Baypark (The Weekend Sun, March 19, page 25).

I will extend that question to ask why there is no bus service to Tauranga Airport? It would surely be a simple matter to run a bus service at suitable times, in both directions, through the airport and air passengers could then easily move on to Mount Maunganui or Tauranga City, where new arrivals could avail themselves of further transport to, say, Greerton, Omokoroa or Papamoa.

As it stands now, an arriving passenger at the airport needs to have a private car available, a pick-up from friends/relatives, or an expensive taxi fare. Most major cities, nationally and internationally, have an available bus service from their airport into their CBD – why is Tauranga Airport lagging so far behind?

Who would be the decision makers here? The bus service company, or regional or central Council?

Get real, whomever has the power, and expand your thinking to provide a better bus service, to include both Baypark and Tauranga Airport.
