Hutt Valley bus services & industrial action this afternoon - we will keep the website updated with any impact on services
There were no major delays this morning and all school services including the Hutt Valley ran as normal.
Metlink’s aim is to deliver all services throughout the day, with total focus on school services. However the situation is evolving and we still urge our customers to check your MyMetlink account, the Metlink Commuter app or check real-time updates at metlink.org.nz before they travel.
We should have a good sense of any potential impacts as the day progresses and we will be providing updates as they come to hand.
We apologise for the inconvenience and are working to minimise the impact of the disruption.

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)
.
