An inter-council feud over where to put bus stops has escalated to the point the head of one council issues an ultimatum – “you can put your bus stops wherever you like, but my buses won’t stop at them.”
The Greater Wellington Regional Council, which runs public transport, wants to speed up bus trips through the city by amalgamating bus stops and reducing the total number along the Golden Mile.
Courtenay Place would go down from two to one stops in each direction with the removal of the ones outside St James Theatre and Reading. The Lambton Quay southbound stops outside the former David Jones and former ANZ would become a single stop, while northbound Lambton Quay stops outside the Cable Car and ANZ would become one.
