More reasons to moan about the buses…

The fares have gone up! Well, for some of us they have. The new zones do make things a little sim­pler, but one gets the feel­ing the 1, 2 and 3 stage price hikes will gen­er­ally out­weigh the dis­counts the more rare 4 stage trav­el­ler will be mak­ing. Don’t know about you train users. You can fend for your­self.

If you’re a little con­fused about it all Met­Link have excel­lent online info about the new zones and fares.

And to the bus-driver who looked stroppy at me this morn­ing when I presen­ted my brand new (but old-school $20 three-stage ten trip), and griped that I should be using one of the new cards, and made his decision to let me on regard­less seem as if was the greatest show of mag­namin­ity shown by a single per­son across the Wel­ling­ton region this year, might I now say (hav­ing checked the rules): “Get stuffed! It’s val­id to the 17th!”
