Re: Getting ready for the double deckers?
Hes owned the majority of Mana since 2007 the remainder is owned by Infratil which acquired it when it purchased New Zealand Bus off Stagecoach. There was a previous attempt by NZ Bus to buy all of Mana however the Commerce Commission put a stop to that. Howick and Eastern has been in his ownership since 2008.

Huh? What are you talking about? The bus in the link is just a "model/artists impression". It doesn't actually exist yet!
