Some rural areas in southern Auckland are set to get bus services for the first time ever next year.
Auckland Transport’s Stacey van der Putten said the new buses would be in areas where housing is growing rapidly and would help people get to and from new train stations, local schools, and nearby town centres, she said.
“Many of these areas haven’t had access to public transport before so it’s terrific to be able to provide them with transport options that will make a big difference to their lives and livelihoods.
“Highlights of the new bus network include two new frequent services, new services for Clarks Beach, Karaka and Ramarama, and more buses for Waiuku.”
