Taking the Bus

Electric buses are quiet, clean, and play an important role in reducing transport-related carbon emissions in Nelson Tasman. All Nelson e-buses offer free WiFi, making it easy for passengers to stay connected on the go.

The Nelson eBus runs every 30 minutes on urban routes throughout Nelson and Richmond, operating daily from 7am to 7pm. Express Routes 5 and 6 connect Motueka, Māpua, Wakefield, and Brightwater, and also provide fast, direct service between Richmond and Nelson City Centre via the hospital – making them ideal for commuters.
