Dude, where's my seat: some Wellington buses have seating removed to increase standing room

Sharon from Kingston

Seats are being removed from some Wellington buses as a solution to overcrowding, leaving some commuters less than impressed.

This has been the Greater Wellington Regional Council's answer to the problem of services which "had been plagued by overcrowding, delays and cancellations, primarily caused by operator NZ Bus running buses that were too small, and hence filled up too quickly".

Can this situation get any crazier? Now many people on the routes which were complained about have to stand instead because GWRC has taken many of the seats out! At a time when school children are no longer supposed to stand on buses for safety reasons, too. How can this possibly be a good idea?
