Cruise ships are back in our ports, but concerns have been raised in Christchurch and Dunedin over visitors clogging up public buses and potentially spreading Covid 19.
Many cruise liners visiting here are struggling with Covid cases - a ship which just spent two weeks in New Zealand ended its tour with 800 cases on board.
Christchurch City councillor Sara Templeton says there aren't enough public buses to meet cruise ship demand and she believes some locals are choosing not to travel because of overcrowding and fears cruise ship passengers may be spreading Covid.
She tells Kathryn believes cruise companies should be providing transport for their passengers.
