• Route 985 and 995 will be adjusted to better align with NX1 bus services at Hibiscus Station

From Saturday 29 November, Routes WX1, 11T, 11W, 18, 105, 195 and 209 will no longer travel in or out of the city using Queen Street, Hobson Street or Wyndham Street. These routes will no longer use bus stops on Queen Street and Hobson Street. Instead, they will travel down and use new bus stops on Albert Street, Mayoral Drive, Vincent Street and Pitt Street. For buses heading out of the city a temporary bus stop will be set up between Victoria Street and Wellesley Street. From early 2026, this bus stop will be moved to Mayoral Drive.
Stop 7131 – Karangahape Road/Queen Street will also be permanently closed. Routes WX1, 11T, 11W, 18, 105, 106, 195, 209 will move to a new bus stop, Stop 1525 - Stop A Karanga-a-Hape Station. Routes 866, 966, CTY and INN will move to Stop 7133 – Pitt Street.
Additionally, Route 106 will travel towards Freemans Bay as it currently does, but will travel into the city centre along Pitt Street, Vincent Street, Mayoral Drive and Albert Street. It will also no longer use Stop 7102 on Victoria Street, and instead use Stop 1378 on Wyndham Street.
These are permanent changes but note that there are also some temporary bus changes on Saturday 29 November, when Karangahape Road will be partially closed for an evening concert, and on Sunday 30 November when Queen Street will be closed for the Farmers Santa Parade.
