Prepare to whinge about the bus service on Wednesday
This just in from Metlink - Disruption to GO Wellington bus services - Wednesday 30 April 2008
On Wednesday 30 April bus services on all GO Wellington routes will be suspended between the hours of 10am and 2pm.
“The suspension of services is to allow a scheduled union meeting for our people represented by the Wellington Tramways Union,” says Zane Fulljames, General Manager Southern Region. “The union has one meeting each year to discuss union business with its members.”
“We apologise unreservedly for any inconvenience this causes our customers” says Mr Fulljames.
“With advance notice we trust our customers can plan their day’s activities with minimum disruption”
Services will be limited between the hours of 9.00-10.00am and 2.00-3.00pm.
Between 10.00am and 2.00pm, there will be no GO Wellington bus services.
A normal full service on all GO Wellington routes will operate up until 9.00am and will resume from 3.00 pm.
Valley Flyer, Runcimans, train and Cable Car services will not be interupted and will operate as normal.
I think so. I've been using the buses for work purposes during the day recently, and I've noticed that the main routes are far from empty even during the middle of the day.
Ta for the warning. You saved me waiting at a stop in vain that day. Looks like a walk to get the daily bread on Wednesday. Hmmm, Bordeaux or Arobake?
Why the hell was this not advertised anywhere?
If it's a scheduled meeting, then why weren't there warnings on the buses?
Bloody typical, and not good enough.
Ah, Lewisham, it was (not that I am one to defend the buses).
There were signs on all the buses I travelled on, at most of the stops, it was in the Dom, and I heard it a couple of times on the radio.
Not sure what else they can do, really.
Yeah, I saw signs on all the buses too. Certainly if you're a regular commuter it would have been hard to miss.
Lewisham, well I missed it too...never seen signs on the buses.
Well then it just goes to show how much notice those who missed the notices on the buses take of anything really Lewisham & Geek - I guess it is just easier to blame others and whine about it afterwards I thought you were all Kiwis not Poms, give the bus drivers a break I bet you'd want your time off if you hadUnion business. I think it jolly good of NZ Bus to forewarn passengers shows that they have their customers welfare at heart.
Will anyone notice?
