Bikes free on trains from July 1

In an effort to encour­age peo­ple to leave their cars at home, Greater Welling­ton has announced that from July 1 this year, bikes can ride on trains for free.

At the moment, trav­el­ling by rail with your bike will cost you anoth­er adult fare.

Sounds like a good idea to us. There is a caveat how­ev­er, if the train is full, your bike can­not ride at all.

Stuff cov­er­age here.
