Auckland revellers can catch the bus home for free after toasting Christmas with a few drinks next weekend.

Auckland Transport is offering party goers and Christmas shoppers free public transport to get home on December 18 and December 19.

From 4pm next Friday, you can take the train, bus and some ferries to get home safely from your festivities as part of AT's Home Free promotion.

Auckland Transport’s Group Manager Metro Services, Stacey van der Putten said Home Free has been extended this year to cover all day next Saturday.

“It’s been a tough year for many businesses so this gives Aucklanders an ideal opportunity to use public transport to complete their Christmas shopping and to come into the city to enjoy the yachting," van der Putten said.

Excluded from the Home Free scheme are Waiheke ferries, tourist and car ferries and Skybus.

Devonport ferries are excluded from the offer on December 19.

Waka Kotahi and Police are urging drivers to take extra care with a surge in trucks heading down state highway one.

More heavy vehicles will be rolling between Auckland and Northport for a week from Friday.

About 800 extra trucks are expected to hit the area as they carry 1200 containers from Northport to Auckland.

The receptacles hail from the ship Constantinos P which was diverted to Northport after delays unloading Christmas cargo in Auckland.

Motorists can expect to see up to 12 trucks every hour leaving Northport from 6 am to midnight for a week.

The Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says people should plan ahead and allow more time for their journey.

I'm looking for a part time caregiver for my father with dementia to give my mother a break in Greenlane during the daytime. This could suit a nursing student or even an unqualified person albeit with some experience. Hours could be flexible but meaningful enough blocks so not simply an hour here or there. the bulk of the time would be spent sitting with him and keeping him safe if he is wobbly on his feet when he walks. If you let me know your past experience and pay expectations and happy to receive private messages or you can reply to this message with you contact number and I will call you. Thank you very much.
