AT recognises the need to urgently address the worsening congestion and accessibility problems in Auckland. We continue to assess high-capacity public transport solutions that can ease congestion and provide more transport options to help make Auckland a more modern, sustainable, connected, progressive, globally-competitive city.

AT continues to investigate mass transit options between the airport and the city centre. AT studies to date support a solution being required by 2024 and Light Rail Transit (LRT) as the preferred option. LRT will take buses off key corridors and carry more people, more efficiently, between centres.

LRT-based solutions have also been shown internationally to improve urban outcomes through development opportunity and provide permanent infrastructure, which attracts investment.
