Wgtn students paints bus

Reporter Community News

Wellington’s streets just got a whole lot brighter with two special buses adorned with drawings from local kids.
Before hitting the capital’s bus routes, the Metlink double-deckers sporting vibrant custom-made vinyl wraps, were unveiled to the designers Ellie Beaumont✓​, 11, of Kāpiti and Bill Kelly✓​, 8, of Wellington on Saturday.
Bill’s bus features an underwater scene, showing ocean life and a diver, and was inspired by his love for the sea.
“I was inspired by snorkelling in the Taputeranga Marine Reserve.
“For my design I wanted to show other people in Wellington what it was like under the sea and how many creatures live in the marine reserve.”
