Take public transport to hospital
Finding out how to take public transport to the hospital has just been made easier. Metlink's Travelling to Hospital brochure tells you how to get to the Wellington, Hutt and Kenepuru hospitals by bus and train. No driving stress or parking worries! The brochure is available from all Metlink timetable stockists.
Kapiti bus changes coming soon
Changes are on the way for Kapiti bus travellers. These include a more direct bus route from Paraparaumu Station to Paraparaumu and Raumati beach suburbs, more weekend and evening services, and a new Paraparaumu East service. These changes, which people were consulted about last year, will be introduced soon.
Better bus services for Porirua
More than 400 submissions were received on proposed changes to make Porirua bus services better. The comments and submissions are now being evaluated. Greater Wellington will then work with the bus operator and Porirua City Council to finalise new bus routes, timetables and changes to bus stops. Look out for more information over the next few months.
Metlink makeover
The Metlink website (www.metlink.org.nz - with complete information on buses, trains and the harbour ferry) is getting a makeover. The new-look website is due to be up and running in July. It will have new maps, features to make it easier for people with disabilities to get information, and enable you to receive emails about timetable changes.
