Expect disruptions to bus services tomorrow, Friday 7 November 

Kia ora,
We're getting in touch to let you know about expected bus service disruptions on Friday 7 November 2025, due to a driver union meeting. If you could share this message with your school communities, that would be much appreciated.

School services will not be affected. However, we know some of your staff and students may use our urban routes for commuting. We also understand senior high school students are undergoing exams currently and may be travelling outside of normal school hours.

Metro routes:

1 Rangiora-Cashmere
7 Halswell-Queenspark 
5 Rolleston-New Brighton
27 Northwood-Huntsbury
44 Shirley-Westmortland
60 Hillmorton-Southshore
80 Lincoln-Parklands
95 Waikuku and Pegasus-City
97 Rangiora-Pegasus
100 Wigram-The Palms via Riccarton
107 Styx Mill-Northlands Mall
120 Burnside-Spreydon
125 Redwood-Westlake
130 Hei Hei-Avonhead
135 New Brighton-The Palms
820 Burnham/Lincoln via Rolleston
and the Orbiter will all be affected, from 9.10am-2.30pm. 

Customers should be aware some trips may end at the city bus interchange from around 9.10am as drivers prepare to attend the meeting. Kinetic, the operator whose drivers are involved in this meeting, has worked to ensure the remaining routes they service will be unaffected. We expect affected routes to be operating as usual by 2.30pm. 

Each operator’s bus drivers can attend up to two annual union 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 they are travelling on public transport on this day or use alternative transport methods.  

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

Kind regards,
The team at Metro
