Do we need an Airport Flyer?
Wellington Airport is currently calling for tenders for the Airport Flyer bus service.
Hutt South MP Chris Bishop is taking an interest in the process and is advocating for a service running from Lower Hutt.
He lists his priorities as.
1. Making sure there is a direct Hutt-Airport bus service.
2. Ensuring it accepts Snapper and appears on the real-time boards. In time, it should be part of the integrated ticketing network too.
3. He does not care if it is a commercial or a subsidised service run by the regional council.
What would you like to see and who should pay for it?
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
