Maps, apps & guides

Network maps, timetables and real time information.

All bus stops, train stations, and ferry wharves have posted timetable and route information at the stop, and many have digital real time departure displays. We recommend using the  Metlink app (external link)  or mobile website for the most up-to-date route and timetable information, real time service alerts and live departures.

Routes and stop departure times are posted at all bus stops, train stations & ferry wharves, and include zone information and a graphic detailing the main stops and estimated travel times of routes. Some stops have digital real time information displays. If the stop does not have a digital display, you can scan the QR code in the bottom-right corner to see that stop's real time departure information or type the stop number or station name into the Metlink app or website to see estimated departures.

Paper timetables

You can download and print timetables directly from the Metlink website by clicking the "download" button on any online timetable. 

You can also request paper timetables to be mailed to you by calling or emailing the Metlink Contact Centre .

Some local libraries and businesses also have paper timetables for local routes.

Metlink use a vehicle tracking system to estimate arrival times of services based on actual GPS locations of buses and trains, called Real Time Information (RTI). On-street digital displays are also used to provide messages advising of major service changes or disruptions.  The tracking information collected from the system provides us with data about service performance, which helps us refine timetables and manage contractual agreements around service quality and performance. 

Many of the busiest bus stops and most train stations have digital departure displays on street or on the platform. Departure times for each stop, even if it doesn't have a digital display, can be found on the Metlink website and app by typing in the stop name, stop number or station name in the search bar.

Understanding the information

Buses and trains that are running and tracked by GPS will display as an estimated number of minutes to arrival. DUE means the bus or train is nearby and will turn up shortly. Services that have not started their trip or are not currently being tracked by GPS will display as a scheduled time and say SCHED. If a service says CAN, it has been cancelled. 

Train services will display if a train is running "All stops" or "Express".  When buses replace trains, signage will display a system message with more information.

Service alerts and delay messages are broadcast to customers through several channels. The Metlink website and app and scrolling messages on on-street digital signage will inform customers if their service has been impacted. Delay messages and general service alerts are not usually posted to facebook. Train stations may also play announcements over loudspeakers.

Please note: Third-party apps and other websites that "scrape" our website for timetables, routes, and real-time information may not accurately or reliably display all of the service alerts and notifications that Metlink publishes. Metlink does not have control of the quality of information that other apps provide. Contact your app provider directly with any issues.

Planning a transport network that works now and in the future

Metlink is the Greater Wellington Regional Council (Greater Wellington) public transport authority which plans and delivers public transport within the wider Wellington region.

Greater Wellington works in partnership with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, KiwiRail and territorial authorities to plan and fund the region’s public transport network. Greater Wellington also works with other regional councils like Horizons on inter-regional transport initiatives. Metlink is focused on providing a great service to our communities across the region and on the welfare and wellbeing of our customers and staff, particularly our frontline staff and drivers.

Metlink is building a world class, low-emission public transport network that is more accessible for people. This involves making extensive and continuous improvements to the Metlink network to deliver faster, affordable, more frequent, and reliable services which links to their three strategic priorities:

1. To continue to improve customer experience on public transport across the network

The customer experience on the Metlink network is being continuously improved based on our customers’ feedback. We have a dedicated focus on understanding customer needs and developing solutions to meet these. This includes refinements to our timetables and routes based on our ongoing reviews of performance, upgrading the usability of our online journey planning and real-time information, introducing digital payment to rail services and ensuring passengers have right information and tracing so they can continue to travel confidently during Covid-19.

2. To reduce public transport carbon emissions decarbonising the public transport fleet

Planning for a fully decarbonised bus fleet by 2030 is already underway with Metlink adding the first of 98 electric vehicles to its fleet in August, this is working towards a target of 108 buses by 2023. When all 108 EVs are on the road, they will make up 22 per cent of Metlink’s bus fleet, shaving 17 per cent off of our total carbon emissions.

3. To contribute to the regional target of a 40% increase in mode share from public transport and active modes

With public transport and active travel accounting for half of all trips into central Wellington, the highest figure in the country, there is already strong appetite for mode shift among the region’s commuters. Metlink is keen to build on this success and recognise that a strong public transport network will help bolster this figure. With initiatives such as Bike and Ride Facilities, investing in infrastructure that makes it easier to access public transport and working with operators to provide a reliable network, Metlink is well on the way to achieving this.

SEPTA bus overhaul will not exacerbate inequalities, new study says, despite critics’ concerns

The study measured the number of jobs a rider could reach within 30 and 45 minutes and average travel times to the nearest hospital, rec center, library, and closest supermarkets.

A new independent analysis of SEPTA ’s bus network overhaul contradicts a major concern raised by critics of the project: that proposed service changes would reinforce transportation inequities.

The latest complete version of SEPTA’s bus network overhaul, a plan developed over the last three years, would deliver increased access to opportunity or preserve existing levels of access for most Philadelphia riders compared with current routes, according to an equity analysis by the nonprofit TransitCenter think tank.

Overall, the study found that the December 2023 draft of the Bus Revolution would result in minor changes, up or down, in the numbers of jobs, hospitals, libraries, rec centers and supermarkets that riders could reach and travel times needed to get there.

“The way I read it, Bus Revolution is neither as bad as anyone fears nor as good as some people would like it to be,” said Connor Descheemaker, coalition manager for the nonprofit advocacy group Transit Forward Philadelphia.

And SEPTA planners were constrained by a mandate to keep the route reorganization cost-neutral, meaning that every boost in bus service in one area had to be balanced by a cut somewhere else, a kind of mathematical taffy pull.

“The only way to more substantively improve access is to invest money on more service hours,” Descheemaker said.

Access to hospitals, groceries, and rec centers

New York-based TransitCenter conducted the equity comparison analysis of the December 2023 Bus Revolution plan and the current network for Transit Forward Philadelphia.

The researchers used several periods throughout the week to show differences and similarities.

They found average travel times to the nearest hospital, rec center, library, and three supermarkets fell within one minute of current times for all demographics measured in both the proposed and current network.

The analysis also measured the number of jobs a rider could reach within 30 and 45 minutes of their starting point at different times in each network.

It found some improvements in access to jobs under the Bus Revolution Plan, including:

Asian residents would be able to reach more jobs within 30 minutes on weekday afternoons and evenings than today.

The number of jobs accessible within 30 minutes on weekday mornings increased across all demographics. Notably, one of the biggest improvements was for households without access to a car.

Black residents would see an increase number of jobs accessible within 45 minutes on weekend afternoons .

Outcomes were broken out for white, Black, Asian and Hispanic people , as well as people age 65 and over. The study also looked at access for households living in poverty and people who don’t own a car.

It relied on population demographics and employment data from the U.S. Census, TransitCenter said.

Descheemaker cautioned that the analysis looks at bus service in the city and does not cover Bus Revolution changes proposed for the other four counties in SEPTA’s service area.

Allocating limited resources

Like many peers, SEPTA faces an operating deficit, $240 million in its case, as federal pandemic aid sunsets.

The transit agency last week concluded a series of eight final community meetings and one virtual meeting after City Council members asked for more time to engage their Black, brown and lower-income constituents on the plan.

SEPTA paused the project in February, just as its board was poised to adopt the final draft of route changes after more than two years of public question-and-answer sessions and surveys.

“There were areas that kind of fell through the cracks a little bit” earlier, said Dan Nemiroff, SEPTA’s director of service planning. He said the latest meetings reached people who might not ordinarily come to such events, thanks to Council members who helped organize and publicize them.

A SEPTA map shows the agency conducted widespread outreach during the redesign process, but with gaps in neighborhoods west of Broad Street like Strawberry Mansion , Brewerytown -Sharswood, Nicetown - Tioga , and Fairmount . The areas range from more affluent, to gentrifying, to historically disinvested.

While acknowledging the difficulty of making a budget-neutral plan, SEPTA officials maintain the result will still serve riders better than the current network does.

“It better allocates those limited resources of bus hours and miles to when people are using the system, said Deputy Chief Officer Colin Foley. “It’s no longer a 9-to-5 a.m./p.m. commute as much as it used to be.”

SEPTA has already made some changes to the December version of the plan, the fourth draft, in response to questions and concerns expressed in the recent round of meetings, officials said.

For instance, planners have committed to keeping Route 32 in its current alignment — a priority that Strawberry Mansion residents have pushed for over a number of months. The route had been marked for elimination.

Route 32 travels from Roxborough down to North Philadelphia, goes through Strawberry Mansion and Fairmount, serves the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and then proceeds down South Broad Street to South Philly .

Route 16 would be kept at its current alignment, running from Cheltenham, straight down Broad Street, to its end point at City Hall, Nemiroff said. The earlier proposal would have shortened it. Route 57 also would be kept as is, Nemiroff said.
