Half price fares have arrived!
Great news for our Metlink customers and community: all Metlink fares will be half price from 1 April to 30 June 2022. This follows the Government’s announcement that public transport fees will be temporarily reduced across the country to ease the cost of living over the next three months.
To see how these changes affect the type of ticket you use, just call 0800 801 700 or see Metlink.org.nz/half-price-fares. And because we’re still dealing with COVID, please bear with us if your services are affected. Thanks, and enjoy the half price fares.

Same Again Dan
Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.
Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.
Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.
His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.
Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.
Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
