Hamilton Transport Centre

Always clean and tidy, great toilets. BUT the intercity bus arrivals and departures board is very unreliable. Some buses never appear, others drop off even though they are yet to arrive, etc. If its only going to show what's on time it's not fulfilling its purpose.

From what ive known, if you dont have your bus card you need to pay 5 dollars cash and as if thats not already overpriced, tell me why it's now 6 dollars. Transport by bus is mainly used by students or people that cannot afford the insane gas prices, if anything I'd say your loosing more profit by upping the fair prices.

Update:nnNew platforms, new toilets, and a drinking water fountain, but it doesn’t mean they want to improve your experience with Busit. Buses still late, fares still increase.nnWas going to catch the Meteor service to the city for the connected Intercity Service to Auckland the other day. Bus was late for almost 20 minutes so I missed my Intercity bus. I had to spend another 50 dollars at the counter for a new ticket to catch the next Intercity Bus. Always unreliable, they are money oriented company that only improves their techniques to take your money out of your wallet. “Oh you must pay for your ride, oh we are not responsible for late services”. No wonder more people are driving these days.nnOriginal review:nnThe fresh new look of the Transport Centre. Platforms upgraded, newly designed car park, water fountain added.nnGoodbye Route 8, and welcome Meteor.nnI used to catch the Route 8 to get to and get back from the city, it was only one service per hour which was a great inconvenience to me.nnNow the Meteor has replaced Route 8 and Route 2 with a high-frequency service running every 15 mins during weekdays. It will go to the Base on Oct so I can catch both The Meteor and the Orbiter to get there for the Te Huia service, which will be great.

Yeah the bee card receptionists kinda suck. Went in Wednesday morning to update my new card, no greetings, no manners, looked like they didn't wanna be there and didn't feel welcomed at all. Asked if I could get concession I admit I didn't do my research properly and found out the concession I wanted wasn't available and apologized. Was met with sour customer service and have heard others complain about this too. Everyone's got stuff going, don't make others gloomy because you're in a mood. Thx

A modern, well-maintained transport centre that makes travelling around the city convenient and hassle free.
