Take the bus

The HBDHB provides free bus transport for all patients travelling to or from an outpatient appointment at Hawke’s Bay Hospital, Napier Health and Orthotics House at Stortford Lodge. Patients simply need to show their appointment letter/card or text reminder to the bus driver to get on the bus network for free. Appointment letter/cards or text reminders must be shown to the driver both to and from the appointment, so be sure to hang onto them after the appointment.

Free fares extend to the patient’s carer or support person, who can also accompany them at no charge.

Remember that children under five also travel free.
