The 20 bus service is one of the fastest-growing routes on AT Metro’s Central New Network.
“The 20 route connects St Lukes, Morningside, Kingsland, Ponsonby and Wynyard Quarter. This means that for the first time in decades there is a connection over the North-Western Motorway, along Bond street, too,” says Darek Koper, Manager Bus Services.
The bus service runs at least every 15 minutes, from 6am until 7pm, with services running until 11pm every day. It provides a perfect all-day connection to all the suburbs, as well as the Western Line train stations at Kingsland and Morningside.
“Why not use the bus to travel to Wynyard Quarter, visit a bar or restaurant before seeing a show at the Waterfront Theatre? It provides a nice and easy connection and removes the stress of having to find a carpark in the busy precinct and the driving is all sorted for you,” says Koper.
If the waterfront is not your flavour, the 20 heads the other way to Kingsland and Morningside where there are plenty of bars and cafes. With AT Metro’s connected and frequent network, all you have to do is turn up and go.
And Aucklanders are doing just that. A year after its introduction, more than 1100 people are jumping on board the 20 bus route every day.
“With more and more people working and living in the Wynyard Quarter precinct every year, it’s no surprise that the commuting hours are the busiest for the bus route, but the high frequency means there’s always space on board. Weekends are quieter and provide that perfect link,” Koper says.
Next time you are out and need to get somewhere in these suburbs, think about giving the 20 a go.
