Airport Flyer - More Arrivals and Departures from January 2013
- Go Wellington
- NZ Bus today announced changes that will further improve their already highly successful Airport Flyer service in Wellington. From 14 January 2013, there will be a significant increase in frequency with the Airport Flyer bus departing Wellington Airport every 10 minutes during peak times to Wellington train station and back instead of the current 15 minutes. In addition to the new 10 minute peak frequency to and from the Airport and Wellington Station, all Airport Flyer buses will travel via Cobham Drive which will further enhance the reliability of this quality service.

Bond Street needs us
- The Wellingtonista
- So I’ve been thinking about Bond Street for a while. Council is currently planning changes to the area. Submissions are open on Traffic Resolution TR70-12 (PDF). The rationale for the change is reasonably strong – 7 reported crashes at the intersection of Bond and Willis Streets since 2010. The basic proposal is also reasonable – closing the intersection and making the west section of Bond Street into a cul-de-sac.
