Auckland Transport (AT) has introduced an 18-month trial of a high quality, low cost, on-demand rideshare service in the lower Devonport peninsula area.
AT Local resumes Wednesday 20 May 2020
All 6 vehicles are in operation, 3 vans and 3 cars. On board, the 3 vans there will be a maximum capacity of 4 while the cars will have a maximum capacity of 2.
The vans will have stickers on seats showing where you can sit to maintain maximum physical distance between you and others on board. On the cars, we recommend sitting on opposite sides of the back seat.
We’ve also stepped up the cleaning of our vans - and you’ll find hand sanitizer provided on board.
One of our vans is equipped with a wheelchair access ramp and it will be prioritized for customers using wheelchairs.
Priority will be given to trips to and from the ferry terminals.
Aucklanders have embraced the chance to do their bit and reduce the spread of COVID-19. We ask that you continue to be understanding and patient. Thanks for your support.
Contact Tracing
- If there is a suspected, confirmed or probable case of COVID-19, a contact tracing process will occur to identify people who came into contact of the infected individual.
- Contact tracing is done by a Public Health Unit or by the National Close Contact Service.
- The app customer data may be shared with these public health organisations to assist in contact tracing.
This new service helps you easily get to and from the Devonport, Bayswater and Stanley Bay ferry terminals. You can also travel to any other locations in the rideshare zone.
