Transdev’s Wellington bus services, operating as Mana Newlands Coaches, offer eight urban routes across Johnsonville, Newlands and Wellington City – as well as an all-electric Airport Express (AX) service, school and charter routes – for our client Metlink, the transport brand of Greater Wellington Regional Council.

Our buses transport passengers from the suburbs to the city seven days a week, with timetables conveniently aligned with train arrival and departure times.
