Google Transit Wellington

You have to give props to Google in this one. They have got a good amount of public transport information from Metlink and have made a decent system for Wellington. It is not as advanced as in America but it is still useful. Although Metlink is the most advanced and informative. Google Transit is simple and easy to understand. It also has a good mobile site. Trip planning is also faster but it could be more advanced.

The times are fairly accurate and up to date but I can't help but feel that Metlink has done a better job. Although the data is from Metlink it self the things you can do are not as advanced as I use them.

Positives +

  • Fast
  • Easy
  • Simple
  • Visual 
  • Mobility Capable 

Cons -

  • Not as much information - prices, school buses ect
