One of Auckland’s main bus services will soon be running an entirely electric, double-decker, fleet. As well as the WX1 route, the buses will work along the 11T/11W and 120 others.
According to Auckland Transport, 20 new buses will be cruising around West Auckland as part of the WX1 service as part of a new multi-million dollar deal.
The $166 million contract has just been signed between Auckland Transport and bus operator Tranzit Group.
Across the nine-year contract, 40 electric buses will take to the streets of Auckland arriving by April 2025.
AT Director of Public Transport Stacey van der Putten said the new contract is another step on the councils electric journey – and demonstrates the commitment to running a reliable bus service for West Auckland.
