Wellington to launch 5 electric "bendy" buses on Route 2 in 2027 to boost capacity and cut emissions.
In 2027, Wellington will launch five electric articulated buses, or "bendy buses," on Route 2 between Karori and Courtenay Place, the city’s busiest route.
The new vehicles, part of a project by Greater Wellington and operator Kinetic, will offer 65% more capacity than standard buses and are designed to handle tunnel routes better than double-deckers.
The rollout follows successful trials in 2023 and 2025 and is supported by upgraded bus stops funded by both Greater Wellington and Wellington City Council.
The initiative aims to meet rising demand—currently over 3 million annual trips expected to double—while improving journey times, reducing congestion, and advancing public transport decarbonization.
