Just saw this on the Metlink website: Wellington bus customers face potential disruption from driver strike

"Wellington, Hutt Valley and Porirua bus customers could face disruption to their travel from Tuesday (October 23) due to a strike by members of the Tramways Union employed by bus operator Tranzurban.

We regret the impact industrial action will have on bus customers. The strike could go beyond Tuesday and we are monitoring the situation. We will keep you updated. Please check this site before you travel, or make alternative transport plans."

This whole situation didn't need to happen. Before all the changes to the bus system, drivers had reached agreement with their employers.

Hi everyone
City Council officers have asked councillors to provide feedback on where new bus shelters are wanted. If you have any suggestions please let us know.
Obviously there will be a process to prioritise where shelters get built because there will always be only a limited level of resources at any one time.
We have a long term process to provide shelters across most locations where people wait for buses. For the most part that means will focus will be on citybound stops and at suburban centres / substantial destinations/ hubs.

Road access to Wellington was temporarily down to a windy, hilly road that heavy vehicles can't use after two crashes blocked State Highways 1 and 2.

- Remutaka Hill road on SH2 was closed shortly before midday Friday after two trucks collided, adding further pressure to the road network at the start of Labour Weekend. The road reopened about 1pm.
- An earlier truck crash about 3.45am near Pukerua Bay on SH1 has been blocking the road in both directions. The Mainfreight truck was carrying hazardous chemicals and paint products. The driver received minor injuries.

Motorists have been warned of major delays, and light vehicles can use the Paekākāriki Hill Rd. The section of road between Paekākāriki and Grays Rd at Mana is closed and Police said it could remain this way until late.

Keep up-to-date with the traffic chaos here.
NZTA regional transport systems manager Mark Owen said: "If people are heading out of town they need to think of an alternative at this stage, and it's certainly going to take a lot longer if they take an alternative route."

Police have asked motorists to avoid the area.
