I’ve just seen the news below on the Metlink website. It has come in response to pressure from the community, including advocacy from your local Ward Councillors and MPs.

Along with the extension of Route 14 back to Kilbirnie this is a good start, but there is still more that needs to be done! I’ll certainly be keeping the pressure on GWRC for more improvements.

“Valid from: 01/10/2018 7:20am

The 18e route is extended as a seven-day-a-week service, including buses between 6pm and 8pm, from Miramar North to Karori South.

It will provide direct connections to Newtown, the hospital, Massey University and Victoria University's Kelburn campus.

It will run without transfers and be available as an all-day service rather than just peak hours.

Please note some shuttle buses for route 18 will be replaced by full-size buses numbered 18e.

The new 18e services won’t show in Real Time Information channels immediately but they will be updated in due course.

18e outbound services will depart Karori at Allington Road Monday to Friday at 7.23am, 7.43am, 8.03am, 8.23am, 8.43am, 9.44am, 10.44am, 11.44am, 12.44pm, 1.44pm, 2.44pm, 3.27pm, 3.47pm, 4.07pm, 4.27pm, 5.07pm, 5.27pm, 6.07pm 7.05pm and 8.05pm.

Wellington, Hutt Valley & Porirua routes face disruption - Thursday

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Some of Wellington's bus drivers will strike from tomorrow, but exactly how many are set to down tools remains unclear. The routes which will be affected are operated by Tranzurban, which has been unable to reach a collective agreement with the Tramways Union.

How can I check?

- Public transport provider Metlink is also unsure how the strike will play out, and is urging commuters to check their bus route before they travel. They can do this on the Metlink app or website, which the organisation says will be kept as up-to-date as possible throughout the strike. Alternatively call the Metlink team on 0800 801 700.

- The only Wellington City routes operated by Tranzurban are numbers 1, 7, 17, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 29. The rest of Wellington City routes are operated by NZ Bus, whose drivers will not strike despite a deal not being reached there either. Full list of affected lines here.

While the strike is set down to end on November 30, union secretary Kevin O'Sullivan says that was an arbitrary date chosen only because strike notices legally required an end date.
