Buses to trains

Natalie from Botany Downs

Why dont the trains coming from britomart to panmure connect with the buses leaving for howick? The bus left before everyone got up the stairs from the train.

It just seems nuts to have to wait 30 minutes for a bus, when for me it wouldve been quicker to drive from highland park to panmure train station.

4 buses then turned up, everyone was scrambling to find which bus they should be on and there was no room for them to even pull into the bus lane.

You will never reduce congestion if the public service doesnt work.

The only way ameti are reducing it is by ripping out the carpark at panmure train station to put in a piece of grass.

Response from Auckland Transport

Train and bus services are run independently of each other, and are not guaranteed connections, which is why the services would have departed according to or near it’s scheduled/approximated time.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
