New bus services for West Auckland – on their way
We are only days away from introducing a new bus network for West Auckland. On Sunday 11 June everything about the bus network is changing, including new bus routes, new route numbers and new timetables.
It has been a few busy weeks telling bus customers about the changes to get them ready for day one. This has included:
• Delivering the information brochure and local bus timetables to 97,000 households
• Creating “Get Ready” videos in Mandarin, Cantonese, Samoan, Hindi and English languages
• Putting up change posters at 513 bus stops and posters at the bus stops that will close
• 170 new bus stops have been installed or relocated
• AT staff and Ambassadors at key bus stops across West Auckland helping customers plan their new journeys
These changes also affect a number of services, including Sandringham Rd, New North Rd, Greenhithe, Blockhouse Bay and some North Shore buses that originate from West Auckland.
School bus services - Some school bus services are changing too. Check online for your child’s new school bus timetable.
Bus stop changes - Find out which bus stops will close to regular bus services from 11 June.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ 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 ❤️
