Talk:Public transport in the Wellington Region

Ferry Map
The ferry map shows the routes as they were earlier this year, before Seatoun was added to the network. Can someone with the necessary skills update it? Birdhurst 14:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Done, with a new article about them as well. -- Vardion 03:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:WellingtonMetlinkLogo.png
Image:WellingtonMetlinkLogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Usage - Trips per capita
Concerning the table of total number of trips and trips per captia under the title 'Usage'. The following link contains the number of total trips for 09/10 (which is 34963551, a slight decrease on 08/09). http://www.metlink.org.nz/assets/Statistics/AnnualPeakOffPeak.xls

I have not updated the table, as I am unsure how the 'trips per captia' was calculated for the other years. A quick calculation using the current pop numbers from Wellington (which are 389,700) gives 89.71 trips per captia, which is significantly different to the other figures in the table to give me pause before updating. Can anyone shed some light on this, or provide me with some better data to update the table? - Roue2 (talk) 03:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Further investigation shows that the figures in my link above (from metlink.org.nz) are different for some years to the ones in the table. Additionally, the reference for the table seems to be missing. I'll wait a little bit for any comments before changing the table. I will update the table with the numbers from my reference, remove the 'trips per captia', and probably expand the table to include the additional information in that reference (on peak, off peak, stats by type of transport). - Roue2 (talk) 03:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Public transport in Wellington → Public transport in the Wellington Region – The article topic covers the whole region, including the Wairarapa, not just Wellington City, or even just the urban area. It is beside the point, but worth noting, that the proposed name is already the name of the corresponding category. Nurg (talk) 00:51, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Support as any article on public transport in Wellington will need to deal with commuter transport from Wellington City to Porirua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt Cities, the Kapiti Coast, and the Wairarapa. Also the organisations managing public transport do so at a Regional level, which include these Cities and areas. NealeFamily (talk) 07:37, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Lead question
Regarding “It has a well developed system” in the lead: compared to what? What makes it well developed or not developed? Similarly, why is Public transport in Waikato poorly developed? Fork99 (talk) 09:38, 12 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I've changed the lede to remove the statement about "well developed"~. i am pretty sure it's against the style rules to make vague and unsubstantiatable claims like this, and I also think it was weird to open article on. ideally article starts with "metlink" I think, instead of "public transport in Wellington region ... serves wellington and its surrounding region" Lynxano (talk) 02:42, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Lead image
Hi, I'd like to replace the lead image with a collage of the different modes used in wellington (trains, buses, cable car, maybe ferry but i can't find any good pictures on commons), and im unfamiliar with the collage template, would anyone be able to help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lynxano (talk • contribs) 20:46, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
