Decisions on bus routes at GWRC Committee on Tues 30 Oct
The following decisions at GWRC Sustainable Transport Committee (STC) on 30 Oct re bus routes could be of interest to you:
* "Requested CE to report back to next STC on 5 Dec on pros and cons of splitting route #2 at Miramar vs extending #18 service to the Kilbirnie hub, including the likely service consequences for communities in Miramar/Miramar North and Seatoun/Broadway, and any implications for the #18E service". Route splitting the #2 service could provide a single-seat ride from Miramar North and Strathmore Park to the City, but may have implications for frequency of service.
* "Agreed to further develop a proposal for merging routes #12 and #14 and to consult with affected communities". This would have the advantage of further extending the previously agreed extension of #14 from Hataitai to Kilbirnie, to closer to Rongotai College. It would also provide a direct route from Strathmore Park across the city to Wilton.
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)
