Bus Transport in New Zealand - Market Size, Industry Analysis, Trends and Forecasts (2024-2029)

Stalled: Falling demand from tourism due to the COVID-19 outbreak has reduced revenue

Overall, bus transport operators' revenue is expected to fall at an average of 3.9% per years over the five years through 2022-23, to $883.4 million. This includes an anticipated rise of 8.9% in the current year, as pandemic related restrictions have eased and demand conditions are set to improve.
