CHANGE IN SERVICE ON SUNDAY, 2 MAY 2021
Kia Ora Koutou, please note that the Cable Car will be closing early on Sunday, 2 May 2021 (3:00pm).
During our routine maintenance checks last week, the maintenance team have identified some parts that need to be replaced.
After further investigation, we have decided to carry the maintenance work this Sunday afternoon.
The Cable Car will close at 3:00pm and will remain closed for the rest of the day to allow maintenance to be completed.
We appreciate that this may inconvenience some passengers and appreciate your ongoing support.
We will be open for business on Monday, 3 May 2020 at 7:30am!
