Project background

We provided AT Local services in areas with too few people for a normal public transport service, like a bus. After we started running AT Local in Takanini and Papakura, the population grew a lot, and many people began using it.

This AT Local service was well used and enjoyed by many. Unfortunately its popularity meant it was hard to get a booking. Satisfaction with the service dropped.

After mid-2022, only 20% to 40% of attempts to book AT Local ended with the customer using the service.

In March 2022, 85% of AT Local customers surveyed were very satisfied with AT Local. That percentage had dropped to 55% in June 2024.

The percentage who felt that AT Local was there when they needed it fell from 82% in March 2022 to 37% in June 2024.

We made changes to try to improve AT Local. But, after each change, new customers quickly took the extra spaces. Continuing to add more vehicles and drivers is not a practical long-term solution.

We want to make sure that people can get to where they need to be, so we replaced AT Local with a new bus service (the 364) in April 2026.

The 364 has room for more people, especially at busy times, and is easier to use. The route is based on where AT Local customers travelled to and from, so you’ll still be able to make many of your existing trips.
