Commuter bus service 92 and 93 to Wellington CBD

Nigel from Timberlea

Hi All. Just an update on this. The old 92 and 93 bus services are still operating, just running privately now, so no snapper card. However, the costs are competitive and NCS have made paying so easy (bus now pay later, 10-trip ($75), or monthly). The buses have improved since the changeover and the regular bus drivers are lovely people who will put a smile on your face before you get to work. However, numbers are really low at the moment and bums on seats are needed to keep these convenient services going. Unfortunately many Upper Huttians (is that a word?) simply don't know about these commuter services, so I encourage any and everyone to try them out. There is a 40-yr heritage to these routes, apparently started by old man Runciman himself. It will be a sad loss indeed if we lose them. The 92 bus runs from Plateau rd thru Gemstone Drive and Totara Park; the 93 bus goes thru Timberlea and along Fergusson. Both then go express and will get you to Courtney Place around 7:30am.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
