Naked Bus

So if anyone considers taking the Naked Bus from from Auckland to Wellington you might want to consider these five points first.


  1. Obvious - Naked does not mean a nudist bus. It's simply referring to the bare-bones price that it costs to book it. Our ticket only cost $23
  2. Less obvious - Your bus is likely to break down or have unexpected transfers because of this reduced price.
  3. The floor in the aisle to the right of your seat could suddenly start lifting up, exposing the road speeding by below. (Actually happened)
  4. Due to poorly planned transfers and delays from breakdowns, you find yourself peeing in the bush outside the "Closed" public toilets. 
  5. You will however, (during the daytime) have some amazing sites of mountains and coastlines and stop in some interesting small towns.
