Te Huia rail service has been a hit for weekend day trips to Auckland to the extent that plans are underway to add a Sunday service between Hamilton and the super city.
Despite being set up as a weekday commuter service, Te Huia’s patronage has been on the up, according to the latest public transport stats for the Waikato region.
The rise is especially striking on Saturdays with a 42% passenger increase compared to the same quarter of 2023.
Plans are in the pipeline to add Sunday a service to further cement the rail link between New Zealand’s largest and fastest growing cities, officials told the *Waikato Times*.
