Akoranga, Smales Farm and Constellation bus stations on Auckland's North Shore and Panmure train station have boosted bike parking to 80 spaces.
New shelters have been installed allowing cyclists to store their bikes inside or under cover.
Dedicated motorcycle parks in the park and ride area are now available at Akoranga, Smales Farm and Constellation bus stations.
Rachel Freebairn, AT Metro's head of facilities, said demand for bike parking had certainly increased.
"More and more people are choosing to ride a bike to connect with bus or train travel which has meant there has been a shortage of suitable parking at some bus and train stations."
Freebairn said the roll out is part of AT's ongoing programme to improve cycling facilities across public transport hubs.
Bike Auckland chairwoman Barb Cuthbert said she was delighted by the increased parking along the Northern Express Busway and the bike shelters.
More people were using e-bikes to cope with hilly North Shore roads and wanted extra security at the bike parks, Cuthbert said.
The upgrade will ease pressure on car parking, she said.
Do you bike to public transport stations and ride to work?
Do you plan to use the facilities more often thanks to the boost in bike parks?

The great kiwi deck, every home should have one. But there's a decking debate raging in DIY and Reno circles: Should the grooves go up or down?
We think we've settled the argument here.

Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.
To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.

She did not have control of her dog who lunged at me and I got a nasty bite on my elbow. It was extremely painful and I was told the pain was due to the bite being into muscle and on bone and a joint. Apparently high risk of infection and a dog bite made it more to dog bite. I was in shock from the attack and pain and this woman insisted I only had a scratch. there were four puncture wounds from the dogs teeth and a massive bruise. Not only did this woman deny what happened but another one came across the road with her entourage and asked me very rudely why I was crying as I only had a scratch. When I said to her How dare you decide how painful this was she became abusive and told her friends not to bother with me because I was cuckoo. These two women need to be held to account for their atrocious behavior and I was left on the street severely distressed and crying with the pain until some decent people came along and saw my distress, the wound as well as offered assistance and support. But mainly I want people to be very wary if you come across this person because her dog is stronger than her and she can't control it.
