Rodney bus trial successful
Two bus services being trialled in Rodney have proved successful.
Auckland Transport (AT) has confirmed it will fund Route 126 (between Westgate and Coatesville) and Route 998 (Wellsford to Warkworth) from May, 2022.
Both runs are meeting patronage targets, AT said.
The services are part of a programme of transport improvements funded by the Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate.
The programme features more than $40 million of improvements in the Rodney district including new footpaths, bus stops and extra buses.
Rodney Local Board chair Phelan Pirrie said the board was glad to be able to keep investing in transport during a difficult time.
“It was a tough call for the local board to set up this targeted rate and to focus on new bus services. But the community consistently told us that local transport infrastructure and services are important to them - so we’re glad to be able to deliver on our promises.”
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
