Botany Town Centre Info Event - Friday 28 October 9am till 9pm
Our second to last information event is on this Friday at the Botany Town Centre next to Starbucks. We’re there from 9am to 9pm. If you catch a bus to and around South Auckland and need help working out your new bus timetable, then come along and AT staff will be there to assist you.
The following East Auckland bus services will not change: 500,501, 545, 550, 551, 552, 565, 575 and 589
All other buses that travel to and within south Auckland will change on Sunday 30 October.
The 580 service from Botany to Manukau
The 580 will travel the same route but will no longer stop at Leyton Way, outside the Westfield Shopping Mall in Manukau. The 580 will now stop and pick up customers at the bus stop located near the Manukau train station.
Need help and cannot make it to the event? Here are some ways that you can plan your journey before the changes take place on Sunday.
• Come along to the Otahuhu Bus Station community day on Saturday to get help from our staff.
• Look at the new bus route map at www.at.govt.nz...... to find your new route.
• Check the new bus timetable online.
• Use the online Journey Planner to plan your journey. It is important to select a date from Sunday 30 October onwards in order for the Journey Planner to display your new journey details.
• Visit an AT Customer Service Centre and our friendly staff will be able to help.
Watch out for SCAMS
Neighbourly is aware that online safety is front of mind for members, and scams are getting more tricky to spot. So we thought we'd share some tips from Netsafe to keep you informed about what to avoid and where to get help.
Where do scams take place?
Over the phone, via text message, via email, online or even in person.
What red flags should you be looking out for? Ask yourself these questions...
- Were you expecting this message? or was it out of the blue?
- Are they saying there's a problem which you didn't anticipate?
- Are you having to give money over?
- Are you being rushed?
- Are you being told to click on a link or go to an unfamiliar website?
- Are you being asked to share personal info or passwords?
- Are you being asked to pay in a strange way like wire transfer, gift cards, etc
- Does something not feel right? Do you feel confused?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's best to stop communicating and seek support. But if you've already given over money, contact your bank immediately.
You can check if it's a scam by contacting |Netsafe|:
- Toll-free on 0508 NETSAFE (0508 638 723) or +6496660840 if calling from outside New Zealand
- Emailing help@netsafe.org.nz
If you're pretty sure it's a scam, make a report at netsafe.org.nz
Remember Neighbourly is a free service for neighbours so we won't ask you for money or for your password. All emails will come from noreply@neighbourly.co.nz - so feel free to get in touch if you're unsure of something!
Hope this helps you, neighbours!
Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
