Neighbourly Good Sort: Vince Tamihere
Over the next few weeks Neighbourly will be running short Good Sorts, featuring people who make a difference in their community.
This week meet bus driver Vince Tamihere.
Vince Tamihere reckons he has the perfect job, driving buses for Tranzurban.
Based in Grenada Village, he covers Wellington City and Porirua.
"I love my job. I am proud and privileged to serve our communities and to get paid for it."
Driving kids to Pauatahanui School is a run he particularly enjoys.
Recently, he posted about helping a 13 year-old girl, who was waiting at a station at 11.30pm on a wet Friday night.
Vince asked if she was okay and was told she was waiting for her parents to pick her up.
Vince waited until her parents arrived and was delighted to receive two boxes of chocolates from her grateful mum.
Recently, he posted on how much he enjoys his work and made a plea to be tolerant towards drivers.
"If you get cut off by one of my work mates think of me! The awesome bus driver."
When he is not driving buses, Vince is fighting for his community in Naenae. He has been outspoken lobbying for the earthquake prone Naenae Pool to be rebuilt and for more facilities for youth.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
