Have your say - Proposed bus stop improvements: Pukerua Bay Station northbound rail replacement bus stop

Metlink is seeking your feedback on the proposed improvements to the northbound rail replacement bus service bus stop for passengers travelling to Pukerua Bay and from Pukerua Bay to Waikanae. 

The proposal involves relocating the existing northbound rail replacement bus stop to a new location where a dedicated rail replacement stop will be constructed closer to the Pukerua Bay Station. 

This change is intended to improve the stops visibility, make the service easier to access, and provide a more convenient and reliable connection for residents and visitors. It will also enhance the overall passenger experience when using rail replacement services. 

This letter outlines the proposed changes and explains how you can provide feedback. 

Background

Rail replacement bus services are an essential part of the Metlink rail network, providing an alternative transport option for passengers during planned rail maintenance and unplanned rail service disruptions. 

To support safe and efficient operations, rail replacement buses use the most direct routes available, primarily along main roads or State Highways. The current northbound rail replacement bus stop is located at the existing InterCity bus stop at the northern end of Pukerua Bay. 

While this location provides shelter, safe bus access, and suitable kerbside boarding facilities, it is a significant distance for passengers to travel to/from Pukerua Bay Station. 

Following a review of the site, and in collaboration with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, Metlink is proposing to construct a new, dedicated rail replacement bus stop closer to Pukerua Bay Station on State Highway 59 (SH59). 

The proposed relocation and establishment of a dedicated rail replacement bus stop will improve visibility of the rail replacement bus stop from the station, passenger accessibility, provide a more convenient connection between rail and replacement bus services, and enhance the overall passenger experience.

Pukerua Bay Station context 

Pukerua Bay Station is centrally located within Pukerua Bay, in Porirua City. Existing rail replacement bus stops are located on SH59: 

• The southbound stop (towards Wellington) is approximately 300 metres from Pukerua Bay Station. 

• The northbound stop (towards Waikanae) is approximately 750 metres from Pukerua Bay Station. 

• Pukerua Bay is on the Kapiti Line and is the tenth station from Wellington and is the fourth station from Waikanae. 

Current issues 

The existing northbound rail replacement bus stop presents several challenges: 

• Poor visibility, making it difficult for visitors and occasional users to locate the current stop from the station. 

• Limited accessibility, particularly due to the inaccessible pedestrian overbridge. 

• A long walking distance between the station the northbound bus stop. 

Proposed improvements 

The proposed improvements include: 

• A new, dedicated northbound rail replacement bus stop – a dedicated northbound rail replacement bus stop approximately 350 metres from Pukerua Bay Station. 

• Road marking upgrades – updated bus stop markings in line with Waka Kotahi NZTA Public Transport Guidelines. 

• A new bus shelter – a modern, weather protected shelter owned and maintained by Metlink. 

• Improved wayfinding – updated signage and maps to help passengers locate the new stop.

Why these changes matter 

The proposed new bus stop would significantly reduce the distance between the station and the northbound rail replacement bus stop, addressing key concerns raised by passengers, particularly around accessibility and walking distance. 

The proposed change will also provide a substantial improvement to rail-bus connections at Pukerua Bay and will enhance both passenger safety and the overall travel experience.
