December 2024 - Route 14 extra buses

Extra buses are running during times ORC expects high demand, the normal Route 14 timetable runs for the rest of the day. 

Wind can affect cruise ships entering and departing the Otago Harbour and can result in late cancellations. If a ship cancels on a day when additional buses were scheduled, the additional buses will not run and the normal bus service will operate as usual - please check the Orbus Facebook page or call the customer service team: 0800 ORBUSDN (0800 672 8736)

Please note, some of the extra trips may be provided by buses without Orbus branding. 

* These are days ORC expects to be the busiest days. Please plan ahead so you do catch your bus.
