Public transport in Auckland

Public transport in Auckland, the largest metropolitan area of New Zealand, consists of three modes: bus, train and ferry. Services are coordinated by Auckland Transport (AT) under the AT and AT Metro brands. Britomart Station, known officially as Waitematā, is the city's main transport hub.

Until the 1950s, Auckland was well served by public transport and had high levels of ridership. However, the dismantling of an extensive tram system in the 1950s, the decision by Stan Goosman to not electrify Auckland's rail network, and a focus of transport investment into a motorway system led to the collapse in both mode share and total trips. By the 1990s, Auckland had experienced one of the sharpest declines in public transport patronage in the world, with only 33 trips per capita per year.

Since 2000, a greater focus has been placed on improving Auckland's public transport system through a series of projects and service improvements. Improvements include Britomart Station, the Northern Busway, the upgrade and electrification of the rail network and the introduction of integrated ticketing across all modes through the AT HOP card. Through the 2010s, procurement reform led to a major region-wide effort to redesign all bus routes, which significantly improved access to frequent service. These efforts have led to sustained growth in patronage, particularly on the rail network. Between June 2005 and November 2017 total patronage increased from 51.3 million boardings per annum to 90.9 million.

Auckland's rapid population growth means that improving the city's public transport system is a priority for Auckland Council and the New Zealand Government. Major improvements planned or underway include the City Rail Link and construction of the Eastern Busway between Panmure and Botany.
