Naked Bus

Based on British online transport models like EasyJet and megabus, CEO Hamish Nuttall’s Nakedbus.com provides low cost inter city bus transport service in New Zealand. Nakedbus.com was founded in October 2006 and it began offering services outside Auckland in the North Island. Soon it gained popularity and by February 2007 it expanded its operations to the South Island. A no-frills bus service provider, Nakedbus.com has managed to cut down costs by doing away with services that are not needed by travelers like paper tickets and expensive bus terminals.

Naked Bus started its operations in the year 2006 with four routes. The primary aim of the Naked Bus promoters was to provide low-cost travel between the cities and towns in New Zealand. From the initial four routes Naked Bus has grown to a national network connecting almost all places in New Zealand and with the best possible bargain prices on every service. To add to its user friendly nature it has ensured that all fares on its varied routes have the same validity and are open to all passengers.

As a result of this simplistic approach and user friendly nature of operations, in a very quick time, Naked Bus has managed to become a household name among travelers in New Zealand – both tourists as well as locals. Naked bus is a blessing in disguise for backpackers and other travelers who intend to travel through this beautiful country on a budget. They can opt for the Nakedpassport – a cheap bus pass from Naked Bus. To go in for a Nakedpassport and save money all one needs to do is decide how many places one wants to visit and choose a pass accordingly. In the alternative one can also opt for the unlimited bus pass on offer from Naked Bus for only NZ $597. Even for travelers intending to go from one particular place to another, Naked Bus is the cheapest provider of transportation with the minimum fare for a Naked Bus travel being as low as NZ$1.00.

Another very popular feature of Naked Bus is that anyone can buy Naked Bus tickets online, whether he has a credit card or not. Unlike other operators who provide the option for commuters to buy tickets online only if they have a credit card, Naked Bus passengers can buy tickets online even if they don’t have a credit card and make the payments later in cash.

The Naked Bus service covers the whole of New Zealand. Extensive routes both in the North Island as well as in the South Island connect virtually all places across the length and breadth of the country. There is hardly any place of tourist attraction or other interest that is not connected through the Naked Bus service.

Naked Bus conducts daily trips to various places of tourist attraction in New Zealand. These trips, very popular among tourists as well as locals originate from the major cities in New Zealand. The most popular tours on offer from Naked Bus originating from the various cities in New Zealand are:
