Wellington, New Zealand Local Transport Network ~2050

Map is Public
updated 61 weeks ago
Wellington today has an extensive bus network, but it's slow and mainly focuses on getting people from the suburbs to the central city. With trams covering the core suburb to city routes, the bus network can be repurposed to connect and extend the tram network. The biggest investment in the new system would be a cut & cover metro line from Wellington Station to the Airport, via Courtney Place, Kilbirnie, and Calabar Road. This would require a new Mt. Victoria tunnel for the metro, that would then mean the current bus tunnel could be re-purposed for walking & cycling. The new metro mean tram and bus networks in the eastern suburbs are now focused around taking people around the suburbs, and into the hubs formed by the metro stations, rather than focusing on connections into the city.
