Changes to some school services Effective from 28 January 2013, there are changes to some school bus services operated by Runcimans. These changes include discontinuing some school services, variations to some services and the introduction of some new services. Please note that any school bus services to and from Riverstone Terraces, or Lower Hutt suburbs to Lower Hutt Schools operated by Valley Flyer are not affected by these changes. Fares and Using Snapper on public bus routes Some of the changes detailed below require the use of public bus routes as an alternative to discontinued school bus services. The Runcimans term passes cannot be used on public bus routes, they can only be used on dedicated school buses operated by Runcimans. Credit can be loaded onto your Snapper card which can be used to transfer between Runcimans school routes and public bus routes at no additional cost, but you need to make sure that you tag on and tag off of each bus otherwise you will pay more than you need to. Transfer options are not available for the train, although monthly passes at significant discounts are available. Planning your journey We have made some suggestions below as to which particular timetabled public bus services and transfers between them may best suit your travel needs. You should however plan your journey at www.metlink.org.nz, in case there are other options more suited to you. Journey Planner information in regards to new and changed services will be available from 7 January 2013.
