The 5 best improvements as part of the Central New Network
The New Network for Auckland’s Central suburbs launches this Sunday (July 8). While we have written about our disappointments with some areas, there are many really great changes that will help people get around our city. In my view the best changes are as follows:

54 Comments Network not so frequent
Auckland Transport’s new network is still in the middle of rolling out, with the last two key urban areas still to go. The Isthmus routes are due to start 08-July and North Shore on 30-September. Where the new network has already been implemented, the results are looking positive.…
Still waiting for frequent trains
The new PT network being implemented by Auckland Transport is a fantastic concept – vastly expanding the number of routes that operate at least every 15 minutes, seven days a week. When implemented the new network will have a transformational effect on public transport in Auckland.…

New Network niggles
The new bus network is the right approach but it will only work if implemented well. So far there are some positive looking numbers. Train boardings at Otahuhu and Manukau have increased, with Otahuhu doubling over the first three weeks of operation;
Total transfers across South Auckland up by 147%,
Bus/bus transfer up by 94%
Bus/train transfers up by 207%.…
Riding the Southern New Network
This is a guest post from reader and friend of the blog, Shan L
Although most southern commuters’ first experience of the New Network for South Auckland was on Monday morning, the go-live was on the day before – Sunday – when travel demand is much lower and any issues can be ironed out before the masses crowd on.…
New Network in South Auckland goes live Sunday
Over the last few years Auckland has ticked off some major public transport milestones. The roll out of HOP integrated ticketing (albeit with the black-listing issue), electric trains (albeit with the long dwell-times ), double-deckers (albeit with stubby bus lanes on Mt Eden Rd), and integrated fares (albeit only on train and buses at this stage) are all giant leaps towards the type of public transport network Auckland will need if it is to continue to grow and prosper.…
