The Bus and Coach Association (BCA) New Zealand is an industry organization that provides membership to various entities associated with bus and coach services. It offers a platform for its members to network, gain knowledge, and contribute to collective advocacy related to transportation policies and regulations.
One of the main events organized by the association is the Annual Conference. Slated to start from September 26, 2023, the three-day event will be held at the Woolfbrook Arena in Addington, Christchurch. It promises to bring value, leveraging the success of the previous assemblies, with various informative sessions, industry discussions and networking opportunities for the attendees.
Besides events, they regularly release news and reports pertaining to the transport industry. For instance, a graph was published on September 13, 2023, displaying the fluctuating oil prices, reflecting the volatility of inflation over the years. This kind of data can be of profound interest to BCA members and others associated with the bus and coach industry, who would benefit from such market insights.
Another report published on September 11, 2023, highlights the key facts and figures about the passenger road transport sector and the asymmetric impact of COVID-19 on the industry. The report also mentioned the challenges faced during data collection.
BCA New Zealand goes beyond serving as a collective group for bus and coach businesses. It plays an instrumental role in making industry-related information available to its members in an easily accessible manner. The spectrum of its services extends from advocating policy reforms to organizing enriching events and providing critical data to its membership base. By doing so, the association contributes significantly to keeping members informed and prepared to mitigate industry challenges.
