Over 180 buses around the Wellington region have been cancelled on Friday, including peak time services.
Key routes in and out of Wellington city to suburbs such as Houghton Bay and Johnsonville have been cancelled, forcing commuters to find alternative options.
Buses leaving Porirua station, Petone Station and Lower Hutt terminus have also been cancelled, leaving commuters at their respective train stations.
Cancellation notifications have piled up on the Metlink app and Metlink cancellation twitter accounts, while some on social media have complained of being crammed in like sardines to the remaining operating bus services.
