Christmas Parade in AKL - Bus to Hibiscus Coast Station

Ralf from Silverdale

Who had similar experiences today?

1. Great to learn that public transport was free of charge today - An excellent way to get cars off the road!
2. BUT: I have not noticed that AT had added any additional bus services for after the parade - we had just the standard two buses per hour! HELLOOOOOO, REALLY? What went wrong again in AT management?

But this made my day:
A bus driver had finished his bus service in Albany. But then he realised how many families were waiting for the bus for Hibiscus Coast Station, which for some reasons just did not arrive. He jumped onto his bus and signalled that he will be driving us to HCS. What a great DEDICATION OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

AT management delivered a bad customer experience - but this bus driver (=front staff!) could fix it again!


WOW - kudos to this bus driver! And lots of passengers thanked him explicitly!! I LOVED IT!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
