    • Option 1: Minimal transfers

      This is where many journeys can be accomplished without transferring. This is similar to what most people experience now on the current network. Three frequent routes work together to provide frequent service on Frankton Road (SH6A) between central Queenstown and the Frankton Bus Hub. These frequent routes are:

      • Sunshine Bay and Fernhill to Shotover Country and Lake Hayes Estate (parts of current Routes 1 and 5)

      • Arthurs Point to Arrowtown via Frankton and Ladies Mile (current Route 2)

      • Queenstown Town Centre to Hanley’s Farm and Jack’s Point via Frankton (current route 4 extended to Queenstown Town Centre)
         

      From the Frankton Bus Hub, individual services will fan out and provide service to:

      • Jack’s Point via Queenstown Airport and Hanley’s Farm (current Route 4)

      • Arrowtown via SH6 and Ladies Mile (current Route 2)

      • Lake Hayes Estate via Shotover Country (current Route 5)

      • Kelvin Peninsula and Quail Rise (current Route 3)
         

      And from the Stanley St Bus Hub to:

      • Fernhill and Sunshine Bay (current Route 1)

      • Arthurs Point via Gorge Road (current Route 2)
         

      How would it be different to now?

      • More frequent and evenly timed services between Queenstown Town Centre and Frankton Bus Hub via Frankton Road (SH6A)

      • Passengers in Arthurs Point, Jack’s Point, Shotover Country, Lake Hayes Estate, and Arrowtown would have a frequent service, at least every 15 minutes every day of the week, direct to the Town Centre

      • One seat ride from Jack’s Point and Hanley’s Farm to Queenstown Town Centre without needing a transfer at Frankton Bus Hub

    • Option 2: Town Centre to Jack’s Point (connection to other routes at Frankton Bus Hub)

       

      A single frequent spine service from the Town Centre to Jack’s Point and Hanley’s Farm via Frankton Bus Hub and Queenstown Airport, connecting to all other services listed below at the Frankton Bus Hub:

      • Kelvin Peninsula and Quail Rise via Frankton Flats (current Route 3)

      • Arrowtown via SH6 and Ladies Mile (current Route 2)

      • Lake Hayes Estate via Shotover Country (current Route 5)


      And from the Town Centre/Stanley St Bus Hub to:

      • Fernhill and Sunshine Bay (current Route 1)

      • Arthurs Point via Gorge Road (current Route 2)

       

      How would it be different to now?

      • There would be a one-seat ride from Jack’s Point and Hanley’s Farm to Queenstown Town Centre without needing to change buses at Frankton Bus Hub as at present

      • Passengers in Arrowtown, Lake Hayes Estate and Shotover Country would need to change buses at Frankton Bus Hub to get to and from Queenstown Town Centre, whereas at present they have a one-seat ride

      • Passengers in Arthurs Point, Jack’s Point, Shotover Country, Lake Hayes Estate, and Arrowtown will have a frequent service, at least every 15 minutes every day of the week

      • While this network could require less public funding to operate than Option 1, it would require many more passengers to change buses at the Frankton Bus Hub to continue their journeys, including many passengers who now have a one-seat ride to Queenstown Town Centre
