"Our customers have really enjoyed being able to take their fur companions on the trains. Pet owners have been very supportive of the protocols that have been put in place to allow this initiative to happen." Councillor Cathy Casey has been the main advocate for pets on trains and she is delighted that the trial has become permanent. "This is another fantastic step towards making Auckland a more dog-friendly city. We are finally catching up with the great cities of Europe where pets are welcomed on all forms of public transport." Pets can go on trains between nine in the morning and three in the afternoon and after 6:30 at night. They can travel all-day on weekends and on public holidays. All dogs must either be wearing an approved muzzle and lead or can be travelling in an approved pet carrier.

The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. But what do you do? And who knew folding towels could be so controversial?
