Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

Good evening. I want to know why the bike racks have been removed from
buses even during the day time? They have been there for many years with
no issues so why are they an issue now and realistically what’s the time
frame we can expect to have them put back? And how do buses not affected
have to also have theirs removed / revoked from public use. And does it
not seem over the top to ban them on clear sunny days when headlights are
not used? It is heavily affecting Queenstown locals who a majority of live
in Fernhill and require the racks to take their bikes back up the hill
after riding them down to work.

 

Yours faithfully,

J
