Metlink On Demand is an app-based service introduced to Tawa in May 2022, and extended to the Porirua CBD in June 2023. Passengers can order rides from small buses operating without set routes between around 600 flexible pick up and drop off locations or ‘virtual stops’. Greater Wellington Transport Committee chair Thomas Nash says the regional council’s public transport wing knows the service is well-used and loved by locals. “Metlink On Demand was born out of our commitment to connecting more passengers with public transport,” Cr Nash says. “We knew the Tawa hills and central Porirua were underserviced areas and that Metlink On Demand could help fill this gap. porirua tawa places transport Thu, 04 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.metlink.org.nz/news-and-updates/news/metlink-on-demand-trial-extended-to-the-end-of-2024/ Metlink 2024-04-04T00:00:00Z -41.1681676 174.8247761 Tawa, Wellington, New Zealand https://www.metlink.org.nz/news-and-updates/news/powellington-and-porirua-buses-to-use-saturday-timetables-in-january/ Most Metlink buses in Wellington city and Porirua will use their Saturday timetables on weekdays from 4 to 27 January. Routes 13, 28, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 12e, 30x and 31x will operate their normal weekday schedules during this period, while After Midnight services will also operate as normal on Saturday and Sunday mornings Services on routes 81 and 84 between Eastbourne and Wellington are suspended until 29 January. Routes 39 and 32x will also cease operation until 29 January, however, a shuttle will connect Island Bay and Houghton Bay at 10-minute intervals during the morning and evening peaks on weekdays. Metlink has reduced bus timetables in this way to give customers certainty. Because of the national bus driver shortage, and at a time when many of us, including drivers are taking leave, the reduced schedules will help operators meet demand and minimise unplanned cancellations. porirua buses places transport Mon, 02 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.metlink.org.nz/news-and-updates/news/powellington-and-porirua-buses-to-use-saturday-timetables-in-january/ Metlink 2023-01-02T00:00:00Z -41.1354918 174.8396887 Porirua, Wellington Region, New Zealand https://www.metlink.org.nz/news-and-updates/news/114-wellington-and-porirua-city-bus-trips-to-be-temporarily-suspended/ porirua places transport Thu, 17 Nov 2022 23:00:31 GMT https://www.metlink.org.nz/news-and-updates/news/114-wellington-and-porirua-city-bus-trips-to-be-temporarily-suspended/ Metlink 2022-11-17T23:00:31Z -41.1354918 174.8396887 Porirua, Wellington Region, New Zealand https://www.metlink.org.nz/news/maintenance-fault-affect-train-services-23-november-2020/ We’d like to apologise for service disruptions on our rail network this morning, both on the Hutt Valley line between Ngauranga and Petone and between Porirua and Waikanae on the Kapiti Line. huttvalley kapiti porirua places transport Sun, 22 Nov 2020 23:36:59 GMT https://www.metlink.org.nz/news/maintenance-fault-affect-train-services-23-november-2020/ Metlink 2020-11-22T23:36:59Z -41.1354918 174.8396887 Porirua, Wellington Region, New Zealand https://www.metlink.org.nz/news/greater-wellington-shares-final-bus-review-plans/ Greater Wellington Regional Council detailed the final part of its bus network review for Kāpiti Coast, Wairarapa, Porirua and the Hutt Valley at today’s Transport Committee meeting. huttvalley porirua wairarapa places transport Wed, 19 Feb 2020 23:59:59 GMT https://www.metlink.org.nz/news/greater-wellington-shares-final-bus-review-plans/ Metlink 2020-02-19T23:59:59Z -41.1354918 174.8396887 Porirua, Wellington Region, New Zealand https://www.metlink.org.nz/news/local-community-the-driving-force/ Porirua resident Daphne Tou has gone from New Zealand indoor netball representative to stay at home mother to a career in bus driving – and she is loving every minute of it. porirua places transport Tue, 30 Jul 2019 04:25:13 GMT https://www.metlink.org.nz/news/local-community-the-driving-force/ Metlink 2019-07-30T04:25:13Z -41.1354918 174.8396887 Porirua, Wellington Region, New Zealand
