Orbus services do not operate on some public holidays and in Dunedin services are reduced on certain public holidays.
Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Day are the only public holidays that the Orbus Dunedin bus service does not operate on.
However, on other public holidays, including observed public holidays, we run the public holiday timetable which is the same as a Sunday timetable.
