AT and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency are currently creating new bus facilities and bus priority measures at Te Atatū, Lincoln Rd and the NorthWest Centre at Westgate.

To provide a more reliable and quicker bus journey into the City Centre, the bus shoulder lanes on the Northwestern Motorway are being extended between Westgate and Newton Road. This will mean almost 20km of bus shoulder lanes on the motorway. Improvements are also being made at motorway interchanges and on Te Atatu Road and Lincoln Road to increase priority for buses. This will make bus trips quicker and more reliable.

New bus interchanges

Westgate bus interchanges

  • We’re building new bus stops at the NorthWest Shopping Centre to enable changes between buses there. The interchange will be significantly improved in the near future. The Fernhill Drive bus stops will remain with some changes to the routes using them.
  • Bus routes using the NorthWest bus stops: WX1, 11T, 11W, 111, 112, 114, 116, 122, 123, 125, 126.
  • Bus routes using the Fernhill Drive bus stops: 11T, 11W, 12, 111, 116, 122, 123, 125, 126.

New Northwestern Motorway bus services

We are proposing changes to many of the current bus routes in West Auckland. 

The WX1 and the 11T and 11W will be the only bus services travelling along the Northwestern Motorway between West Auckland and the City Centre. Customers will need to transfer between local bus services and motorway services for trips currently using routes 125X, 129, 132, 132X, 133, 133X and 134.
