When I was visiting Auckland under my own steam I worked out that the airport bus was far cheaper and sometimes quicker. It ran every 15 minutes, was often full of business types, and stopped at various points of the CBD so could drop me almost at the door.
When Covid hit, the airport bus service was badly affected. But at least they had an airport bus service, unlike Wellington. Now Wellington has a clean airport bus that is pleasing many. On a recent trip to Auckland I was able to compare airport bus services.
