Ride Electric with Connect!

This event is running from 14 March 2026 until 15 March 2026. It is next occurring on 14/03/2026 10:00 am

    When?
    • 14/03/2026 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
    • 15/03/2026 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Get ready for a unique experience at the Ford Ranger NZ Rural Games! Our friends at Connect are bringing an electric bus for everyone to explore.

Kids will love climbing into the driver’s seat and imagining themselves behind the wheel. Come on board, snap a selfie, and chat with the friendly Connect team.

Best of all, all Connect bus services across Palmerston North, Ashhurst and Feilding will be FREE all weekend long!

Leave the car behind and enjoy a hassle-free ride to and from the Games.
