Bus to the Beach
This is a guest post by regular reader, Minnie. Route 66, as well as having a very cool name, is one of the signature bus routes of the New Network. It stretches from Coyle Park in Pt Chevalier to Sylvia Park, and nominally runs every 15 minutes*.…
69 Comments Consultation Crunch 2.0

Weekly Roundup 29-Nov-19
Here’s the roundup of some of the things we didn’t yet cover this week.
More Auckland Transport Consultation
