We gotta ger more discussion on the bikes on bus ban in Dunedin. CHCH just got a temporary daytime exemption to the bike ban in busses ORC needs to do the sane. As Spokes its our obligation to push cyclist interests with local authorities.

Totally agree! I encourage you to explore what we can do; I’m sure that our other @members will support you for a good cause like that.
@heike - what do you think might work in terms of practical advocacy for this?
lucky this made the front page of the oddity today.
Sounds like council is listening to consumers so if everyone writes to the ORC and expresses their dissatisfaction with the bike ban on busses and how it is impacting them, that will help. but sounds like the end is nigh for daytime bans. however that doesn’t help us much as daylight saving is around the corner and cold dark long nights ahead - exactly the time bike commuters may opt to get on a bus for their journet home. please write to this email and express your concerns about bike bans on ORC busses
