Auckland Transport to name bus stops after landmarks, introduce audio announcements
Bus stops are being renamed after landmarks to make it simpler and easier to travel around Auckland.
Auckland Transport (AT) will update all bus stop names from this Wednesday on digital platforms including AT Mobile and Journey Planner.
One example is 117 Hill Road bus stop will be now called Botanic Gardens bus stop.
New names will reflect landmarks including schools, parks, churches, tourist locations, hospitals, transport interchanges and major intersections.
This follows international public transport best practice, with London, Paris, Madrid and Melbourne all using name-based stops.
AT also confirmed later this year audio announcements will be introduced across buses with announcements in te reo Māori and English.
