Wellington, New Zealand is a popular destination for Aussie travellers - it's a culturally rich city, with great coffee, and some fun sporting events. It's also known as the Southern Hemisphere's very own windy city.
Next time you visit, you'll be able to get around even more easily on those windy days, with the addition of transit information from Greater Wellington to Google Maps.
Google Maps is already a popular source for driving directions, and Transit information makes it even easier to compare walking, driving and public transit options at various times of the day. So, for example, if you want to do a sightseeing tour around the city, you could plan a route that included Wellington trains, buses, a ride on the iconic cable car - and even finish off with a ferry trip to the South Island to continue your New Zealand tour.

Wellington is the first city in New Zealand to see this feature, and we look forward to working with transit organisations across Australasia to roll this out even further. And remember, if you're in Australia you can already use Transit information to plan your journeys in Perth and Geraldton in WA, Adelaide in SA, and for Sydney's Monorail and Light Rail service in NSW. Check out the video below for more tips on using transit information on Google Maps to get around.
