Bus driver stop-work meeting – off-peak disruption Friday 19 October
The bus driver stop-work meeting on Friday 19 October between 9am and 3pm means some of our services will unfortunately be cancelled in Wellington city and Hutt Valley. Other services may also be affected. Those who use the affected routes are advised to check the Metlink website and consider alternative transport options.
Metlink would also like to alert you to intended industrial action called for by the Tramways Union from Tuesday 23 October. Metlink is in constant contact with our operators and is monitoring the situation. We will update you via our Metlink channels as more information becomes available.
