What
Auckland has made enormous strides in public transport in the last two decades. Since its foundation in 2010, Auckland Transport has achieved major public transport transformation.
Some highlights include: integrated ticketing and fares, electric trains, making real time information more real, much improved public transport interchanges and more reliable public transport services. But the workhorse of the public transport system is the humble city bus, carrying over 70% of all public transport trips. Even with City Rail Link and Light Rail, the bus will still be the dominant public transport mode into the future.
For City Rail Link and light rail to do their thing, they need a great bus network to support and feed them. This is where the new network comes in, as a first-principles review of the entire bus system that had been only incrementally changed since the late 1970s. This is being implemented in stages, with delivery to be complete in September this year.
Anthony Cross, the Manager Network Development under the new Auckland public transport brand AT Metro, has been the architect, champion and spearhead of the new network. Anthony will share Auckland’s journey from public transport backwater, to a bus system redesign widely regarded internationally as being best in class.
