the urban area of wellington was limited to what is now the central business district for the remainder of the 19th century . farming activity developed as the forest was cleared and sheep farming , in particular , was established in the wairarapa . the first land transport links were by bush tracks and rough roads . sailing ships remained the main means of transport over any distance .
but recently , the coalition , known as the let ' s get wellington moving project team , provided the public with a glimpse of what ' s on the drawing board .
however , redevelopments and a changing management structure have still resulted in an increase in train patronage , and thus public transport use , over the past three years . for example , the introduction of the direct manukau to britomart train line in april 2012 resulted in a 23 % jump in southern and eastern line passengers over the first year . continued new developments , such as the introduction of electrified trains in april this year and the free wi - fi on trains currently under trial , are likely to increase passenger numbers in the years ahead .
that is why the government increased funding for public transport service by 19 per cent this year and currently invests almost $ 700 million per year into services and infrastructure , in conjunction with local government , he said .
in addition to public transport services managed by regional councils , there are other passenger services provided on buses , trains , ferries , taxis and specialist vehicles . more information about these can be found at the links below

the new zealand company chose wellington as its first organised settlement in 1839 . its future was uncertain until 1865 when it was chosen as the colony’s new capital . alongside the shift in the seat of government was the centralisation of businesses – many major firms set up their head offices in wellington . from the 1990s wellington has rebranded itself as the country’s creative capital .

“we’re two weeks in and already the council has received 120 submissions from the public . over the next couple of weeks public meetings will be held in wellington , hutt valley , porirua , wairarapa and kapiti . this is a good chance for people to talk to us about the recommendations and feel more informed about the proposals so they can give us their feedback . ”

the 2013 census showed that the proportion of those travelling to work via bus or train was 5 . 7 % , [ 1 ] up from 5 . 2 % at the 2006 census . public transport is a significantly more prominent travel option in regions with a high enough population density to support its use . this article will focus on the key aspects of public transport growth in the three key centres of auckland , wellington , and christchurch , and looks at where further linkages could be developed to provide better connections between work and home .
the public transport spine study and the proposed improvements to state highway 1 and associated walking and cycling improvements all give effect to the ngauranga to airport corridor plan . the plan , a partnership between the nzta , greater wellington and wellington city council , lays out a detailed vision and plan for a well - performing integrated transport network that improves travel for all users and supports growth and an improved quality of life .

public transport use in christchurch as a proportion of commuters has diminished over the 2006 - 2013 period . although already relatively low for a city that size , bus users as a proportion of commuters dropped from 3 . 7 % in 2006 to 2 . 6 % in 2013 . with the destruction of the cbd by the february 2011 earthquake , workspaces largely shifted to less damaged suburbs ( see graph 5 . 3 ) . as widespread commuter destinations are less efficiently serviced by public transport , commuters have turned back to motor vehicle use since the earthquake .
the public transport spine study’s final report outlines the findings of the joint study seeking to understand the feasibility of a high - performing public transport network spine , through the cbd and on to kilbirnie . the report compares three options ( shortlisted from an original 88 ) – bus priority measures , bus rapid transit and light rail – based on a range of factors including cost , travel benefits , and impact on patronage uptake . feedback from the public will be sought before any decisions are made about which option will be progressed .

the pipitea campus is located at the wellington railway station—also home to the central bus terminus .
the basin bridge proposal will ease congestion at the basin roundabout by separating traffic travelling east and west from traffic heading to and from newtown , berhampore and island bay . this will allow for dedicated public transport lanes – which are also essential for any of the future three public transport improvement options outlined in the spine study . freeing up the roads around the basin will mean quicker journey times for public transport users . the changes will also provide relief for vehicle users and dedicated facilities for pedestrians and cyclists . the nzta has applied for resource consent on the project , and final designs are now available for the public to view . developments include a proposed new gateway building at the basin reserve with improved player facilities , and urban design improvements that were not part of the original proposal , including an extension of the memorial park public open space all the way to cambridge terrace . these have been developed and refined in consultation with the city council and the basin reserve trust over the past few months to help address the visual impacts of the bridge .

that’s right : cloudberry online backup is a windows - only product . however , cloudberry lab makes it very clear that the reason their product is windows - only is because their people are windows experts ; working with windows is their strength , and of course they are going to leverage that strength . cloudberry lab’s closest competitor is jungledisk , which has products for all platforms , and therefore cloudberry is at a competitive disadvantage regarding potential audience . but cloudberry online backup is a nice product as it stands now in beta , and if they achieve everything on their to - do list before the public release , will be a very good product for those in its target market .
the second one which i have just started using today , but definitely warrants a good try is cloudberry explorer for azure blob storage , from cloudberry lab inc . this crew has already a long and solid history of s3 storage management tools , they have recently added windows azure to their line - up .
conclusion the main differences between cloudberry online backup and jungledisk are jungledisk’s cross - platform product , its appearance as a virtual drive , and its web - based interface . cloudberry lab says that the virtual drive feature is being worked on ( and for me , that is more important than the web - based interface ) . if cloudberry lab completes their to - do list before the final release of their product , and if the free - for - education pricing remains , then i think windows users looking to store less than 30gb should absolutely consider cloudberry online backup when selecting a cloud - based backup service .
