Getting around Auckland

Train

Tranz Metro operates regular services Monday to Saturday with lines running south and west from the city centre. For a shopping trip, try the Waitakere line which passes through the Newmarket shopping area before heading west with stops near the St. Lukes Mall and right alongside Lynn Mall and West City Mall.

 

Ferry

If you want to go out and visit some of the islands in the Hauraki Gulf, you should go to the downtown ferry buildings and catch a ferry. Many different ferries travel to different islands, and you can go out just for the day, or to stay on the island.

Bus

Exploring Auckland by bus is convenient, economical and a lot of fun. The all day BusAbout pass is great value for visitors and the free buzz-a-bus telephone timetable service offers superb friendly advice in an instant.

The Link bus service runs both ways in a circuit around the attractions of the inner city rim. These distinctive white buses charge a single $1 fare for any stop on the circuit.

The double-decker Auckland Explorer Bus offers all day sightseeing and visits Victoria Park Market, Kelly Tarlton's, the Auckland Museum, Parnell, the American Express New Zealand Cup Village and Sky City Casino. For $20 you can hop on and off the Explorer Bus as many times as you want in one day.
