Whangarei, New Zealand's northern most city, has built an attractive bus depot/information centre/art museum project, called "Te Manawa - The Hub". However Naked Bus and InterCity Coachlines subsidiary SKD (which runs the Northliner) - the two largest regional and inter-city operators - may not even use the $1.4 million bus station according to this story in The Northern Advocate.
The Hub is intended to be the drop-off and pick-up point for tourists passing through Whangarei, three weeks out from opening date the companies are uncertain and unhappy about conditons imposed with using Te Manawa facility.
Whangarei, a city of 52,000, is also served by a modest local bus system operated under contract by NZ Bus, the country's biggest bus company responsible for operating a high portion of Wellington and Auckland bus services
