As always, if you’re out and about in the city centre during peak periods, remember to factor in extra time for your journey. Please follow all directional signage, and consider navigation apps when planning the best route on the day.
Metlink continues to encourage commuters to catch a bus or take the train. It reduces pressure on the road network, lowers emissions, and can be a quicker journey. Use the journey planner on the Metlink app, and find your fare at Metlink.org.nz
