Metlinks thanks the public
Metlink is thanking Wellington commuters for their cooperation following the Government announcement that physical distancing is no longer required on public transport.
"We would like to thank everyone for their hard work complying with these measures on board our services for the last few weeks. This has been made possible by the your continued support for wearing face coverings on board public transport, which has made our services safer for both passengers and staff."
The Government still expects all New Zealanders to wear face coverings on public transport with exemptions only for school services, children under 12 years old, and passengers with disability and health concerns. Passengers should continue to follow the Government’s level 2 advice which includes logging their journeys using QR codes and the COVID-19 app, practicing good personal hygiene by washing and sanitising their hands before and after travelling, sneezing and coughing into their elbows and avoiding public transport completely if they are sick. Passengers can keep up to date with the Government’s latest alert level 2 measures on public transport through Metlink's social media, website and app.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
