Auckland Transport (AT) last month surveyed more than 2000 users of public transport in and around Warkworth to determine possible bus route changes.
The survey was conducted before completion of two major infrastructure changes in the area – the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway and the Warkworth Community Transport Hub (park and ride) located near the Warkworth Showgrounds. Both projects are due to be completed next year.
AT spokesperson Mark Hannan says AT wanted to get a feel for how current bus users plan to use the park and ride and their preference for bus route 995 (Warkworth to Hibiscus Coast Station). Should the 995 stick to its existing route or make use of the new motorway?
The results of the survey are being analysed and are expected to be available in a few weeks.
The survey will influence any changes to bus routes, which will be introduced next year.
It was sent out to AT customers who have used an AT HOP card to travel on routes 995 (Warkworth to Hibiscus Coast Station), 996 (Warkworth to Algies Bay) and 997 (Warkworth to Omaha) in the past three months.
