COVID-19 Update

Community Engagement Advisor from

Following today’s Government announcement, as of 11.59pm Sunday 14 February the Wellington region will move to Alert Level 2 until 12 midnight, Wednesday 17 February.

What does this mean for travelling with Metlink?

Face coverings are once again mandatory for travel on all Metlink bus, train and ferry services. We will be continuing to run our full timetable from midnight tonight (Sunday 14 February).

Passengers should continue to follow the Government’s level 2 advice which includes tracking their locations, practicing good personal hygiene by washing and sanitising their hands before and after travelling, sneezing and coughing into their elbows and avoiding public transport completely if they are sick.

Passengers can keep up to date with the Government’s latest alert level 2 measures on public transport through Metlink's social media, website and app. #Staysafe #BeKind #Metlink

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
