All public transport in Auckland will be FREE when the country goes into Covid-19 lockdown, but it can only be used by people who need it.
Buses, trains and ferries will only be available for those working in essential services, for medical reasons, to get to essential services like supermarkets, and to move essential goods. While there will be no charge, Auckland Transport said people should continue to tag on and off, so passenger numbers could be monitored, and changes could be made depending on demand. Essential workers may be asked for identification when they are travelling, such as a business card, ID card or letter from their employer. People must continue to get on and off the bus using the rear door to minimise contact with drivers. Auckland mayor Phil Goff said it was critical Aucklanders adhered to the rules.
"The lockdown that begins tomorrow night is unprecedented in our history but absolutely necessary to ensure we can shut down the route of transmission and protect our communities. "Every Aucklander must comply with the rules, stay home, self-isolate and only use public transport if needed to perform essential work, or to access essential services. "The better we self-isolate, the sooner the government will be able to ease some of the restrictions."

Best way to use leftovers?

⚠️ 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 ❤️
