Get ready for big changes
From Sunday, 11 June 2017, West Auckland will have a new bus network. It is part of a simpler, more integrated public transport network for Auckland, providing more frequent services and better connections to many destinations. Buses and trains will work together to create a connected network to help you get to places you want to go.
More services, especially from 7am to 7pm, 7 days a week
Buses are more frequent, at least every 15 minutes, between New Lynn and the City Centre as well as between Westgate, Henderson and New Lynn
Frequent connections to other destinations such as Waitakere Hospital, Auckland Zoo and MOTAT
For areas that do not have direct services to the City Centre you can get there by transferring at Westgate, Henderson or New Lynn
More trips on weekends
Improved late night services
All day direct services from Westgate to the City Centre via the Northwestern Motorway
Peak express services to the City Centre from Helensville, Westgate, Te Atatu Peninsula, Henderson via Te Atatu Rd, Glen Eden and Titirangi
There's a lot going on to give people more choices and better connections to the places they want to go. We realise change this big is never easy. Some people will need to transfer, others will have a new bus route, but everyone will need to get a hold of their new bus timetable to get ready so they don't miss the bus. Before any changes happen we'll be out in the community, helping you get ready.
Frequent— buses will run more often between 7am and 7pm, 7 days a week
Simpler—routes are less complicated, making public transport attractive and easier to understand
Choice— better connectivity means access to many more destinations

In the past Auckland's bus network tried to run direct services from everywhere to everywhere mostly at low frequencies. We are moving towards a model which has fewer routes but higher frequencies and better connections to major centres.
Transfers between buses and trains enable frequency and simplicity and provide better access to many destinations.
For travel to and from West Auckland transfers can be made easily, especially at the key interchanges in New Lynn, Henderson and Westgate.
Transfers are also supported by our fare system. Visit www.AT.govt.nz/fares
We have several tools to help you make a plan and get ready.
