“We’re still hiring in Rotorua and Whangarei and would love to hear from top-notch experienced drivers with a strong focus on customer service.

The ManaBus.com full timetable commences just in time for the holiday period and will operate seven days a week including Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

“For those travelling over the holiday period ManaBus.com offers chauffeur-driven comfort, luxury reclining leather seats, free Wi-Fi, at seat power points and air-conditioning, all at really affordable fares.

“Affordable fares mean there’s more money to spend on friends and family this Christmas. Why pay any more for city-to-city travel than you need to?” says Mr Norman.

To celebrate its full timetable ManaBus.com is staging a “selfie” competition for its Facebook fans. An iPod Nano is up for grabs for the most creative ManaBus.com selfie sent in. Full details on the ManaBus.com Facebook page.
