First of all, I applaud Metlink’s effort in engaging the community on the new bus network problems. I have a few suggestions which I would like to make, and I hope it will make the Facebook Live sessions more constructive and meaningful for all parties.
For nearly 4 years, thousands of commuters have written to Metlink/GWRC regarding the proposed new bus networks. Many of us had also attended numerous public meetings. However, the strong feeling that we have as a Wellington community is that we have been ignored all along and instead Metlink listens to consultants.
I hope Metlink is aware that people are very sceptical about any Metlink consultation sessions. Since the new network has gone live on the 15-July, people are wasting hours of their time (often daily) coping with the new dysfunctional network. Parents are in worse position of having to cope their own transport problems and school buses problems as well.
The time of just talking about the problems is well and truly over. We as a community want to see a concrete action plan on how the problems can be fixed promptly. The problems with the new network are well understood and can be summarised below:
• Excessive delays in getting to the destination
• Severe overcrowding during peak time
• Lost of direct routes and multiple transfers required to get to the destination adding to the delay. Commute time is now taking 2 – 3 times as long.
• Missing buses
• Ghost buses and unreliable Real Time Information
• Some routes are now missing in the new network
I would also encourage Metlink to share the many feedback which you have received since going live and all the historical feedback regarding the new network. The art of listening is to play back concerns which have already been provided by thousands of people recently and historically.
To make the Facebook Live sessions meaningful and constructive, I would like to suggest Metlink changing the sessions more to:
“This is what we will do given the feedback that we have already received for these suburbs and this is the timeframe that we will work to”
Anything less than what I suggested above is not going to address people’s scepticism that Metlink is consulting in good faith this time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Lim Leong

Tuesday 11 September 2018
Te Ahumairangi (ground floor), National Library, corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets
Reel-to-reel, cassettes, floppy disks, digital audio tape, CDs, you name it – the life of O Te Upoko O Te Ika radio station was preserved on all manner of formats. In 2007, Te Reo Irirangi O Te Upoko O Te Ika Trust donated over two thousand of these interviews recorded between 1982-1995, to become one of the Alexander Turnbull Library’s biggest collections: Te Upoko O Te Ika Sound Recordings: Ref: OHColl-0937
Hundreds of these interviews were conducted and broadcast in the interviewees’ first language, Te Reo. The voices of Radio Te Upoko O Te Ika are a storehouse of politics and culture unique to Aotearoa New Zealand and a treasure illuminating the depth and diversity of Te Reo Māori.
In 2015, the Te Reo Irirangi o Te Upoko o Te Ika Trust and the Alexander Turnbull Library began working to make this archive of music and conversational and formal Māori language recordings available to the public online and on its ground floor audio pods.
Thanks to the vision and tireless effort of Piripi Walker and the Trustees and staff of Te Reo Irirangi o Te Ūpoko o Te Ika Trust, National Library’s Richard McIntosh and the staff of Digital New Zealand and the Alexander Turnbull Library the collection continues to be digitised and remastered for full public access.
Speakers:
Veteran Māori broadcaster Piripi Walker managed Te Upoko o te Ika Radio Station for its first three years (1987 – 1991) and was a Māori negotiator for the Māori Broadcasting Treaty Claims.
Richard McIntosh is part of the Kaiārahi and Learning teams in Public Programmes (National Library) focussing on He Tohu and Treaty education. His interest in the ‘revolutionary’ potential for learners of our national language drove his determination to initiate and lead the public access project.
As Alexander Turnbull Library’s Oral Historian Māori in Outreach Services Tāina McGregor travels the country meeting with iwi to discuss their collections. Her role entails providing iwi with oral history workshops and invaluable support to record and preserve their tāonga. Tāina worked closely with Piripi and the Te Reo Irirangi o Te Ūpoko o Te Ika Trust to bring the archive into the ATL Collection.
