Full Auckland ferries turn away 53 cyclists in four weeks

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours,

Fifty-three Auckland cyclists have been turned away from ferries due to a lack of space onboard in the past month, data from Fullers has revealed.

It comes as Auckland Transport (AT) invests in cycling infrastructure to encourage people to get on their bikes. A $1 million cycleway trial in the Viaduct began earlier this month.

Fullers and AT are now looking at how to make more space for bikes and e-scooters on ferries.
