Under the plan, three key routes, Orbiter, Comet and Meteor, along with a new Rototuna line, would operate as high-frequency services with buses running every 15 minutes from 7am to 10pm, and every 30 minutes outside those hours, from 6am to midnight, seven days a week including public holidays.

This isn’t a gala. It’s a gathering. A rally cry. A night for the women who keep showing up - for themselves, for each other, and for the generations coming next.
Charlotte Twigg is a powerhouse. She brings truth, fire, fatigue—and hope.
She’ll speak to what it means to lead, to rise, to rest, and to keep going anyway.
We won’t pretend everything’s fine. But we will remind each other: this work, while unfinished, is already changing the world.
