On Monday, Labour MP for Hutt South Ginny Andersen, National list MP Chris Bishop, Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry and councillor Deborah Hislop wrote a joint letter to the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) asking it to step in and fund the Airport Flyer bus, so it can continue running to and from the Hutt.
The call comes after Wellington Airport confirmed plans to axe the Wellington-Lower Hutt leg of the route when Tranzit begins operating the service in early 2021 because it was no longer commercially viable.
But GWRC chairman Daran Ponter hit back saying the reality was that many services ran with “zero or one or two passengers”.
“What the MPs and the mayor are saying is that ratepayers should pay for a service that was very poorly used between the Hutt Valley and the Railway Station.”

What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
