InterCity boosts services over the Holiday period
InterCity has added 1,500 additional seats to its services today, to cater for heavy customer demand over the Christmas
and New Year period.
InterCity recently increased its link services between Palmerston North and Napier (fares from $19); Wellington to
Napier (fares from $30); Hamilton and Rotorua (fares from $15) and Rotorua to Auckland (fares from $25) due to increased
demand.
Sales and Marketing Manager for InterCity Group Limited, Daniel Rode, said InterCity is responding to demand from both
domestic travellers and international tourists who are either heading away on holiday, or returning home to be with
family and friends over the Christmas and New Year period.
“This is a particularly busy time of year for all travellers and we’re adding additional seats to ensure people can get
from A to B easily. With the extra traffic on the roads more people are choosing efficient and well-organised public
transport options as a means of getting around the place,” said Daniel.
“Coaches are spacious, modern, well-equipped and air-conditioned so passengers arrive feeling relaxed and ready to
celebrate the holiday season,” he added.
The majority of the extra seats will be ex-Auckland travelling throughout New Zealand.
