Bus Route #29

In the morning, Route 29 will no longer travel from HBC Station to Northcross Intermediate or Rangitoto College.

Routes 25, 26, 27, and 29 serve students travelling to Long Bay College, Northcross, and Rangitoto from various points around the Hibiscus Coast, converging at HBC Station for transfers to their respective school buses. Students who would typically catch Route 29 from HBC Station (or along East Coast Road) will now need to take Route 25 (Rangitoto College) or Route 26 (Northcross). All buses will wait on Painton Road outside HBC Station (Stop E) until passengers have transferred to their respective buses, and drivers will be available to guide students to the appropriate bus. Additionally, a supervisor will be available at the station tomorrow morning to provide assistance.

This adjustment will be trialled starting Friday 9 February with close monitoring of passenger numbers across all routes. If no issues arise, this arrangement will remain in effect for approximately one month until passenger volumes stabilise. Should it prove to be beneficial, Auckland Transport may consider making this change permanent.

Please note that this change applies solely to morning services and will commence Friday, 9 February.

Additionally, the driver will make an announcement on the bus this afternoon.
