About the Frequent Transit Network

Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland's network of frequent buses provides greater access to more destinations for more people, more often.

The new network increases the frequency on key routes so you can connect between high frequency routes and travel to a wide range of destinations without having to plan your connections. This will make it much easier to get around at any time of day.

Our 'frequent promise'

The key frequent routes meet our ‘frequent promise’. Each route runs at least every 15 minutes, from 7am to 7pm, 7 days a week. Some run even more frequently.

Together they create a network that runs often enough that it’s easy just to turn up and go. 

Benefits of the Frequent Transit Network

  • Easy connections across Auckland. 
  • Increased accessibility. 
  • Reliable for everyday life. 
  • Less need to rely on timetables. 
  • More freedom and flexibility. 
  • High frequency makes transfers between services easy.

Find a frequent route

You can find a frequent route by the route number and the thickness of the line on our maps: 

  • Frequent routes only have two digits or a name (e.g. Northern Express, or CityLink).
  • On our route maps Frequent routes are shown with a thicker line than our other routes.
  • On our timetables and at bus stops look out for the arrow symbol.

Some of our Frequent routes run: 

  • on extended hours into the night
  • at least every 15 minutes outside the standard 7am to 7pm schedule
  • as a supplement route during peak hours.

Find information on Late-night and after-midnight buses.
