So the new routes/timetables for CBD/Nth Shore/Whangaparaoa have been made active in the journey planner.

When I first heard about the new options, I thought "yay, no more waiting around for buses", and that I'd get home slightly earlier.

Hah.... yeah right.

I'm now going to have to leave home 15mins earlier, and spend extra 15-30mins on the bus on way home.

Cant win :)

Some people win, some people loose. I'm happy that my route is relatively unchanged, but there are a few extra off peak times available.

Yeah well thats the plus, is that on peak there will be only a 10min wait per bus rather than the current 20+ I experience in the evenings. I may be able to find alternative buses to catch to speed things up, guess I shall see at the end of the month.

Unfortunately we don't like in a multiverse where every single event in life goes the way we want :)

I'll be curious to see what they do in my area. At least they're retaining the Beach Haven/Birkdale loop - having to change buses at Birkenhead would have been a hassle (especially with kids).

No improvement for me. Feed bus still runs hourly in the mornings and hourly in the evenings. AT keeps saying that people should take feeder buses to the Park and Ride but then the feeder buses don't actually allow that. What the hell, AT?

The 83 bus is a huge improvement for me.

I could be spending up to another 40mins each day..... and still get to work and back at the same times, if not later.

Glad I have a kindle and tv shows on the phone.....but will be 12hr day.
