Botany Town Centre Info Event - Friday 28 October 9am till 9pm
Our second to last information event is on this Friday at the Botany Town Centre next to Starbucks. We’re there from 9am to 9pm. If you catch a bus to and around South Auckland and need help working out your new bus timetable, then come along and AT staff will be there to assist you.
The following East Auckland bus services will not change: 500,501, 545, 550, 551, 552, 565, 575 and 589
All other buses that travel to and within south Auckland will change on Sunday 30 October.
The 580 service from Botany to Manukau
The 580 will travel the same route but will no longer stop at Leyton Way, outside the Westfield Shopping Mall in Manukau. The 580 will now stop and pick up customers at the bus stop located near the Manukau train station.

• Come along to the Otahuhu Bus Station community day on Saturday to get help from our staff.
• Look at the new bus route map at www.at.govt.nz...... to find your new route.
• Check the new bus timetable online.
• Use the online Journey Planner to plan your journey. It is important to select a date from Sunday 30 October onwards in order for the Journey Planner to display your new journey details.
• Visit an AT Customer Service Centre and our friendly staff will be able to help.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
