Almost 1000 bus services will be suspended across Auckland as authorities try to encourage more people onto public transport and ahead of major rail outages next year that would see some trains replaced by buses.
Some 12,000 bus services across Auckland will continue every day, however, which AT said accounts for more than 85 per cent of the network. Those most impacted by the removal of services included the City Link, the Inner Link and the Northern Express, with between 26 and 53 scheduled buses cut for each route every day.
Buses operating in and around Auckland’s central suburbs would see the greatest number of removed services. In total, 931 services a day would be discontinued across the city from Sunday, November 6.
