One of the biggest problems with\u00a0Auckland Transport\u2019s revamp of bus services out west, is that it\u2019s hard to forget that $100 million was spent upgrading the priority of buses on the northwestern motorway.<\/p>\n
The Western Express (WX) bus route, with a 10-minute frequency between 7am-7pm, is the biggest public transport leap in Auckland for six years.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the pinnacle in re-shaping of the western and northwest services, so that\u00a0local buses intersect with the WX\u00a0as it travels into the city from Westgate.<\/p>\n
