Two 17-year-olds found themselves stranded on a road trip from Auckland to Whitianga after a bus took off with their luggage still onboard.
Nathan Willoughby and his friend Aidan Kohing were travelling via InterCity bus services on January 25.
The first half of the trip was smooth enough, but it all turned to custard when the pair changed buses at Thames to complete their journey.
When one passenger disembarked at Hikuai, Kohing claims he asked the bus driver if he could use the toilet while the bus was stopped, which he said was agreed to. The bus company contends that never happened.
