Possible bus strikes (19/04/2021)
Hello,
Metlink has emailed GBRAI to advise that there is the possibility of ongoing bus driver strike action. With very short notice. While the bus routes shown are not the key Brooklyn/Kingston/Owhiro Bay routes, we know from experience the ripple affect of drivers taken from our services to plug gaps elsewhere. We are circulating this for your information.

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
