AUCKLAND TRANSPORT IS BAD. BUT HERE’S A GUIDE ON HOW YOU CAN MAKE THE MOST OF IT TO GET AROUND TOWN QUICKER AND EASIER.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the biggest changes with moving to University is transport. Although I am not known for being on time, through my struggles with public transport here is my breakdown of transport best practice in Auckland.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auckland public transport is the cheapest way to get around town but it does have a bad rep. However, there has been some progress in making the system easier to use and below I will give you the lowdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Priced at $10<\/strong><\/em>, your can order this card from their website<\/a> OR buy it at any of these locations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These handy apps will literally save your life and have you schedule your day to a tee! There are two versions. Just pick the one which suits you best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re always in the CBD area, use these three buses which have a circular bus route, letting you hop around easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CityLink<\/strong> (Red Bus every 7-8 min<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
InnerLink<\/strong> (Green Bus every 10-15 min<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OuterLink<\/strong> (Yellow Bus every 15 min<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auckland Transport uses Zones<\/strong><\/em> to calculate your fares. You will only be charged for the number of zones that you travel through<\/strong><\/em>. In other-words, you can change buses or trains as many times as you like but only be charged for ONE zone as long as all those trips are in a single zone. This system is exclusive to AT Hop Card users.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auckland is split into thirteen fare zones<\/strong>. You can view them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Campus shuttles are great for travelling between campuses. You will find the timetables down below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UoA, AUT, Unitec and Massey have private shuttles reserved for their students to travel between campuses. They are close to campus which will mean, less walking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*Remember to check the pricing for these shuttles. UoA & AUT have their own pricing for shuttles but it’s FREE at Unitec and Massey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
