First off, let me say that the Wellington regional transport database (www.metlink.org.nz) is a fine institution that has given me much help in finding my way about this last two years.
But sometimes, it can suggest surprising results. For instance, this evening, I wanted to know what the best bus to take into town would be in order to get to the Westpac Stadium.
This is the route it suggested:
Walk Depart: 17:28* Walk to: Kingston Shops - Quebec Street, Wellington City
Bus Depart: 17:32 Kingston Shops - Quebec Street, Wellington City Service: 7 - Kingston - Wellington
Arrive: 17:54 Wellington Station - Stop D, Wellington City
Bus Depart: 18:00 Wellington Station - Stop D, Wellington City Service: 44 - Strathmore - Wellington - Khandallah
Arrive: 18:02* Kaiwharawhara - Hutt Road (Fore St), Wellington City
Walk Depart: 18:02* Kaiwharawhara - Hutt Road (Fore St), Wellington City
Arrive: 18:04* Kaiwharawhara Station, Wellington City Rail Depart: 18:11 Kaiwharawhara Station, Wellington City Service: Hutt Valley Line (Upper Hutt - Wellington)
Arrive: 18:15 Wellington Station
Walk Arrive: 18:26* Walk to: Westpac Stadium
Yes, that's right, kiddies. It's seriously suggesting that I bus to the Wellington Station, get on another bus out to Kaiwharawhara, take the train back to the Wellington Station, and then walk to the Stadium itself, about ten minutes away.
