New bus service for Warkworth

Auckland Transport will introduce a new bus service for Warkworth in September.

The connector bus will take Warkworth commuters as far as Silverdale and from there they will be able to catch a bus into central Auckland.

The service will be part of the North Shore New Network – a revamped bus service for Auckland’s northern region.  

Buses will leave from Warkworth half hourly during peak times and hourly at other times. The service will run seven days a week.

Buses will depart from the current bus stop on Baxter Street, near the Masonic Hall. There will also be stops on Whitaker Road close to State Highway 1.

The fare to Silverdale will be $3.30 (2 zones), to Takapuna it will be $6.20 (4 zones) and to central Auckland $7.50 (5 zones).     

The Kowhai Connection, a bus service connecting Warkworth, Matakana and Snells Beach will be re-timetabled connect with the new service.  

Auckland Transport spokesperson James Ireland says no additional parking will be installed specifically for the new bus service.
