As of this morning, there is no bus service provided by Go Wellington. The streets were relatively quiet at 7:20, when I caught my Eastbourne-bound bus to work. I was surprised that we didn’t have a huge number of extra passengers, but with the very nice weather hanging over the capital, some people may have walked the 20-minute journey instead of taking the 10-minute bus ride.

I’m cheering for the drivers on this one. They don’t get the pay or the respect that they deserve for the service they provide. Poneke talks about the money side in terms of dollars, rather than percentages, which paints a very bleak picture. Go Wellington Drivers!
