As new advice kicks in around social distancing to help combat the spread of Covid-19, challenges are emerging for public transport.
In Wellington yesterday, train platforms were crowded with hundreds of commuters as all trains leaving the capital were cancelled or delayed due to a fault.
Putting social distancing into effect wasn't easy.
Meanwhile, from Monday, the region's transport network Metlink will remove all cash sales from trains, buses and stations.
