Napier & Hastings Bus Services
SERVICE 1
CONCERT CAR PARK TO MISSION VENUE (SHUTTLE BUS.)
| LOCATION |
Anderson Park, York Avenue, Greenmeadows. |
| TIME |
Continuous service from 1.00pm onwards until nearer concert commencement. |
| BOOKING |
No need to pre book a seat, just turn up. |
| COST |
$5.00 per person return (wrist band provided to be worn)
|
| DESCRIPTION |
This service operates throughout the afternoon and will transport concert goers (and their chilly bins!) from Anderson Park-the official public car park for general admission ticket holders.
Passengers will be ‘dropped’ right outside the main Mission Estate gates in Church Road leaving approx. a 100 metre walk to the concert itself.
N.B. The carpark is usually monitored by some form of security personnel we believe although this aspect has nothing to do with Nimons Bus Company.
At the conclusion of the show just hop on any Nimons bus which is parked opposite the Mission gates (down Avenue Rd) with a window sign marked ‘Anderson Park Shuttle’.
(must have wrist band or will be charged for return shuttle)
We will have several buses doing the return shuttle runs and they will continue until no further passengers remain to be moved. There is therefore no need to rush for the first buses and obviously a little patience is necessary to allow our drivers to move the masses especially in view of all the pedestrian traffic. |
