Metlink industrial action tomorrow
Metlink has now received formal notification from the Tramways Union, that there will be industrial action tomorrow on Metlink routes run by NZ Bus.
Affected routes are shown in the image below.
The industrial action will last from 4am tomorrow Friday 23 April until 4am Saturday 24 April, when normal services will resume.
Metlink is asking customers to know before they go and plan alternative journeys if needed and to ensure you have signed up to MyMetlink and turned on notifications to stay up to date.
Metlink services run by our other bus operators, which make up the majority of our services, are scheduled to run as normal.
They will keep the Metlink website updated with the latest 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.
