Warkworth’s route 999 is a goer

Auckland Transport’s new Warkworth loop bus service launched on July 21.

Route 999, an initiative developed in partnership with the Rodney Local Board, will run in a clockwise direction around Warkworth, about every 30 minutes.

Bus stops serving the route are at 21 Percy Street (outside the medical centre), 25 Lilburn Street, opposite 7 Pulham Road, 15 Woodcocks Road (outside Mahurangi College), opposite 20 Mansel Drive (outside Summerset Falls Retirement Village) and 62 Hill Street.

“These bus stops aim to provide residents with convenient access to the bus route, improving public transport connectivity within the community and safety for buses, bus users, pedestrians and other road users,” AT says.

“To allow buses to pull into and out of the proposed bus stops safely, some parking will be removed as part of this proposal. We understand that the removal of parking can be inconvenient, so we’ve minimised it as much as possible.”
