Free loop bus service

THE Otago Museum and Dunedin Heritage Bus Society will offer a free loop bus service during the school holidays.

It will start today and run every weekday until Friday, July 20.

A museum spokeswoman said yesterday the idea arose in response to a full holiday event programme and public concerns about a lack of parking.

The service, which will take in the Dunedin Botanic Garden, Otago Museum, Dunedin Public Art Gallery and Toitu Settlers Museum, runs between 10am and 3.15pm.
