#MarianGrove resident feedback on #BusBotAU๐:
"BusBot is wonderful. I used to take my car but using BusBot is very convenient. Attendants Keven and Trish really look out for you so it's a nice feeling to see them all the time." - Margaret, 86-year-old resident at @SCCAWeCare.

If you're in #PortMacquarie or surrounding suburbs and haven't had the chance to see #BusBotAU in action, then you're in luck! BusBot will be shown off at the #HastingsSustainabilityShowcase this Fri & Sat, Mar 1 and 2 at Port Macquarie Racecourse.

Over Phase 1 of the #BusBotAU Trial we received great feedback on our indigenous livery design. A big thank you to #ImpactWrapAustralia for coming on board to support the project and for being a great local supplier.

#BusBotAU performed just as we expected during Phase 1 on the Northern Breakwall as it navigated pedestrians, cyclists and even some seagulls! This was all without incident. Thank you to #QBEInsuranceAustralia for insuring BusBot. We appreciate your support!
