Get ready, Wellington! Our new electric bendy buses are on their way.

Five bendy buses have landed in Auckland and are wiggling their way south to Wellington over the next week. 🚍🚌🚌🚌🚌

These longer, high-capacity buses will soon join the Metlink network, helping move more people with fewer vehicles and supporting a more efficient public transport system for our region.

👀 You might spot them on the road as they make their way here or while preparations get underway before they enter service on Route 2.

If you see one, share your photos with us in the comments. We’d love to see them arriving in Wellington! 📷

💬 "I was paying with cash. It's awesome being able to use my card and save money too."

💰 By using contactless payment, you can save at least 25% compared to paying cash fares. It's one of the many reasons passengers are making the switch.

Simply tag on and tag off with your credit card, debit card, smartphone or smartwatch. ⌚💳📱

🎉 More than one million trips have now been paid using contactless payment across the Metlink network. Have you tried it yet?

Get on with it.
