In the year to June, there were 88.4 million trips on Auckland's public transport network, a 6.7 per cent increase on the previous year.
When more people use public transport
- it’s cheaper to run
- there are fewer cars on the road.
This means less congestion and faster journeys for those who do choose to drive.
The massive increase in passengers on buses, trains and ferries is the result of years of hard work and planning.
- We’ve electrified our rail network and a brought in a whole new fleet of trains.
- We’ve introduced our AT HOP card and a Simple Fares system that lets passengers transfer between different types of public transport and only pay one zone-based fare.
- The Northern Busway means that more than half of the people who travel across the Auckland Harbour Bridge on a weekday do so by bus.
It's a numbers game
In the year to June, there were:
- 62.7 million passenger trips on our bus network, a 4.1 per cent increase on last year
- 6.15 ferry trips, a 4.6 per cent increase on last year
- 19.6 million trips on our train network, a 16.7 per cent increase on last year
- 4.9 million passenger journeys over the Northern Busway
And there’s more to come
Auckland Transport is rolling out new bus networks across the region. The New Networks will offer shorter, more frequent trips that connect to other bus, train and ferry services. Services on frequent routes will operate at least every 15 minutes from 7am to 7pm, seven days a week.
