Buses to trains

Natalie from Botany Downs

Why dont the trains coming from britomart to panmure connect with the buses leaving for howick? The bus left before everyone got up the stairs from the train.

It just seems nuts to have to wait 30 minutes for a bus, when for me it wouldve been quicker to drive from highland park to panmure train station.

4 buses then turned up, everyone was scrambling to find which bus they should be on and there was no room for them to even pull into the bus lane.

You will never reduce congestion if the public service doesnt work.

The only way ameti are reducing it is by ripping out the carpark at panmure train station to put in a piece of grass.

Response from Auckland Transport

Train and bus services are run independently of each other, and are not guaranteed connections, which is why the services would have departed according to or near it’s scheduled/approximated time.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
