Expect disruptions to Metro routes 3, 8, 140 and 155 on Friday 11 April

We are advising customers of upcoming bus service disruptions expected on Friday 11 April, due to a driver union meeting. 

Metro Routes 3 Airport & Sheffield Crescent to Sumner, 8 Port to Port (Airport to Lyttelton),140 Russley to Mt Pleasant and 155 Eastgate to Lyttelton Shopper Service, will all be affected from 8.20am to 2.30pm.  

School services will not be affected. 

Customers should be aware that some trips may end at the city bus interchange from around 8.20am as drivers from one of our operators, Ritchies, prepare to attend the meeting. Ritchies has worked to ensure that the remaining routes they service will be unaffected. We expect affected routes to be operating as usual by 2.30pm.  

Bus drivers are able to attend up to two annual meetings a year, as per their collective agreement, and this is one of them.  

We apologise for the inconvenience and recommend customers plan ahead if travelling via public transport on this day.  

Thank you for your patience, any further updates will be posted to the Metro Facebook page or metro.co.nz. Cancelled trips will be removed from our live information on go.metro.co.nz and at bus stops.
