Decisions on bus routes at GWRC Committee on Tues 30 Oct
The following decisions at GWRC Sustainable Transport Committee (STC) on 30 Oct re bus routes could be of interest to you:
* "Requested CE to report back to next STC on 5 Dec on pros and cons of splitting route #2 at Miramar vs extending #18 service to the Kilbirnie hub, including the likely service consequences for communities in Miramar/Miramar North and Seatoun/Broadway, and any implications for the #18E service". Route splitting the #2 service could provide a single-seat ride from Miramar North and Strathmore Park to the City, but may have implications for frequency of service.
* "Agreed to further develop a proposal for merging routes #12 and #14 and to consult with affected communities". This would have the advantage of further extending the previously agreed extension of #14 from Hataitai to Kilbirnie, to closer to Rongotai College. It would also provide a direct route from Strathmore Park across the city to Wilton.
🪱🐦 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?
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
