context_page_description: Karori is a suburb located at the western edge of the urban area of Wellington, New Zealand, 4 km from the city centre and is one of New Zealand's biggest suburbs, with a population of over 14,000 at the time of the 2013 census. It is a common misconception that Karori is in fact the most populous suburb in the Wellington region. But Wainuiomata leads with its population of 16,786 at the time of the 2013 census.
context_section_description: Until 31 October 2017, the full length of Karori Road was served by the Karori Park trolley bus route, which replaced the former tram service in 1954. For many years vehicles on this route ran as Route 12 to Courtenay Place, but are now designated as Route 2 and through-routed to and from Seatoun via the city. The weekday ten-minute service is the most-frequent of all Wellington routes. Other routes serving the suburb are Route 18e which runs through Kelburn to Miramar via Massey University, Route 21 which runs up Birdwood St, and down Beauchamp St from Courtenay Place, and Routes 33 and 34 which run from Brandon St in the city centre to either Karori South or Karori West.
