We’re making some temporary peak bus changes
Some of our services are being impacted by the nationwide shortage of bus drivers.
To give you more certainty, we’ve been working closely with our operators NZ Bus and Tranzurban to put in some temporary peak changes.
As part of these changes we will see some trips temporarily suspended during morning and afternoon peak services.
Our operators are recruiting and training more drivers at pace, but these temporary suspensions will help enable NZ Bus and Tranzurban to operate the remaining services. Please note that operators may cancel additional trips depending on availability of drivers.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
