The Public Transport Network Management team in conjunction with an external consultation analysis company (Ben Parsons and Associates) analysed all of the feedback and most common themes from the submissions will result in one of the following:
changes to the New Network routes/frequencies,
no changes and an explanation of why not or rationale behind the final decision,
development of FAQs to respond to concerns/issues that need to be responded to but don't require changes to the New Network,
included within an infrastructure list to be reviewed by the relevant team in regards to bus stops, shelters, interchanges etc.
sent to the AT HOP and fares/ticketing team for review, action or inclusion within their work programme,
sent to the Rail team in regards to the proposed closure of Te Mahia or Westfield stations or the opening/design of new stations,
sent to other teams if not related to the New Network or Public Transport at all
The feedback received has resulted in several changes to the proposed bus network. In short Auckland Transport (AT) originally proposed 28 bus routes within the South Auckland area and we are proposing to make changes to 20 of those routes. In addition we are creating 1 new route and retaining a limited express bus service from Papakura to the CBD. As a result of consultation feedback there are now 30 routes under the final South Auckland New Network.
In conjunction with analysing the public submissions a team of public transport planners drove the routes in buses to clarify issues raised. In some cases one submission has been enough to change the proposed route. For example, a submitter requested we retain part of a current route on one of the proposed routes in Papakura. The planners drove both the proposed AT route and the submitter's route and ascertained that his route suggestion worked better from a bus manoeuvrability perspective, created a wider residential catchment for the service and also retained current bus stop infrastructure that is used by regular commuters.

This report provides decisions on the New Network bus routes only. No decision has yet been made on the proposed closures of Te Mahia and Westfield Stations. Detailed reports will be developed separately to address those proposals and decisions are not included within this report. Also any feedback that was outside the scope of this consultation has been sent to the relevant teams within AT for review, action or inclusion within their work programmes, for example AT HOP, Customer Services, Fares and Ticketing and detailed feedback on the design of key transport interchanges. Feedback on areas not included within this consultation (such as Pukekohe, Waiuku and Sylvia Park) will be considered when those areas are reviewed.
A detailed list of infrastructure requests (bus stops, shelters, lighting etc.) has been created from the feedback and is being reviewed by the Infrastructure team.
There were various issues raised within the consultation feedback that did not require changes to the network itself however do require a response. A series of FAQs will be developed to respond to those issues (for example, are small buses accessible, how late will buses run) and communicated via the AT website and the New Network email newsletters.
Twenty eight bus routes were proposed in total for South Auckland to create a New Network of buses and trains that will change the way people travel – including the need for some passengers to transfer at key interchanges.
All the current bus services in South Auckland would be replaced by the New Network which would provide local connections and would introduce four new frequent bus routes, two of which were made up of 30 minute connector services timed to create a 15 minute frequent service along the common route, before splitting off to different destinations.
Buses would no longer run from South Auckland all the way into central Auckland, except for two services from Mangere. Passengers would be required to make local bus to train connections at Papakura, Manurewa, Manukau, Papatoetoe, Otahuhu or Onehunga.
Some bus services that take people direct from their home to their destination would be replaced with generally more frequent services which may require a transfer.
A detailed table of all the decisions and changes made to the proposed routes as a result of the consultation feedback can be read in Appendix One. A summary of the changes includes:
Changes have been made to 20 of the proposed 28 routes. Only 8 routes had no change:
Onehunga to Manukau via Airport (30)
Mangere Town Centre to Sylvia Park (32)
Manukau Station To Botany Town Centre Via Preston Rd (353)
Manurewa Interchange To Wattle Downs To Manurewa Interchange (363)
Manurewa To Otara/MIT Via Mahia Rd (364 renumbered to 361)
Manurewa To Manukau Station Via The Gardens (366)
Wiri Industrial Loops (368/369)
Two of the frequent routes were made up of 30 minute connector services timed to create a 15 minute frequent service along the common route, before splitting off to different destinations. In each case one of the branches has been upgraded to a frequent service and the other branch will now be a separate service:
extending the frequent service from Otara to Botany (31B becomes 31),
providing a frequent service along the length of Great South Road between Papakura and Otahuhu (33A becomes 33)
turning the 31A service into a local route (314) which provides access to Papatoetoe train station and connects with bus routes (Otara, Hunters Corner and Papatoetoe) for onward journeys for people in Ormiston/Flat Bush
the Connector route (33B) has been renumbered 362 and will terminate at Manukau
Retention of limited express services from Papakura to central Auckland via the motorway (4 morning peak (6.10am – 7.10am) and 4 afternoon peak (4.05pm – 5.35pm)). Peak/express services are transitional and will be reviewed once the New Network, including electrification and integrated fares, has been in place for a reasonable period of time.
Retention of a weekday peak only service from Otahuhu to the city along the Great South Road (322). Off peak the 322 will terminate at Ellerslie Station. Peak/express services are transitional and will be reviewed once the New Network, including electrification and integrated fares, has been in place for a reasonable period of time. The 322 is currently not planned to operate on weekends however the 008 will be extended to the Otahuhu interchange to provide weekend service along Great South Road between Otahuhu and Penrose.
Expansion of the peak only service in Mangere to cover the current 305x route through Favona, and Mangere Bridge, bypassing Onehunga (301 renumbered 309x)
All Papakura routes to serve the train station and town centre
A new route created – Opaheke to Papakura
Minor route changes to the following routes:
309 route to serve Robertson, Wakefield, Harania and Favona Rd
313 route extended to Onehunga via Orly Ave, Thomas Rd, Massey Rd, Kirkbride Rd, McKenzie Rd, Miller Rd, Mountain Rd and Coronation Rd. Exact frequency of 313 extension to be determined as part of tendering process
326 route extended to Otahuhu train station via the town centre
324 route to follow current 409 route in Otahuhu/Seaside Park
325 route to serve Tennessee Ave and Blake Road in Mangere East and Dawson, Matthews, Aspiring, Hollyford, Te Irirangi, Diorella in Clover Park.
352 route amended to serve more of East Tamaki and Highbrook
365 route to serve Shifnal Drive
Peak only route 311 removed until area develops and demand increases.
Some routes have been renumbered as a result of the above changes to create a consistent route numbering system, make the New Network less complex, easier for customers to understand and to emphasize the Frequent Network.
Auckland Transport is aware that, as is the case whenever bus services are changed, some existing customers will be disadvantaged by the changes. The overall objective of these changes is to simplify the route network so that services are improved for the majority and so that they are easier for new users to understand in the future. However, some people may not be able to make their particular journey by bus as easily as they can now. There may be other options, for example walking further at one end of the journey or taking the train or an alternative bus route. Auckland Transport apologises if any inconvenience is caused to some existing customers as a result of these changes.

Transcriber's Note:
The table has been converted to a bullet point list.
End of Note.
Service Type:
Frequent Services
Frequency and Hours of Operation: In South Auckland, the train line and four key bus routes will form the Frequent service layer.
Bus services: At least every 15 minutes between 7am and 7pm, seven days a week.
Peak frequency will typically be every 10-15 minutes.
Services will operate at lower frequencies outside these hours, every 30 minutes or better.
South Auckland Routes: Services: 30, 31, 32, 33
Connector Services
Frequency and Hours of Operation: The Frequent Network will be complemented by Connector bus services at least every 30 minutes, between 7am and 7pm, seven days a week – connecting people to town centres and work and/or the Frequent Network.
Peak frequency will typically be every 20 minutes.
Services will operate at lower frequencies outside these hours, typically every 60 minutes or better.
South Auckland Routes: Services: 309, 313, 325, 353, 361, 362, 363, 365, 366, 372, 377
Local and Peak Period Services
Frequency and Hours of Operation: The All-Day Network (made up of the above Frequent and Connector routes) will be supported by two other types of bus service:
Local services will serve areas not on Frequent or Connector routes. These services will link into the All-Day Network at connection points such as train stations and town centres. Services will generally be every 60 minutes. Peak frequency will typically be every 30 minutes.
Peak period services will only operate during weekday peak period (generally 7am to 9am, and 4pm to 6pm). May vary for industrial area peak services.
Peak services generally operate one way only – towards the city or key destinations in the AM peak and in the PM peak back to the local area. For example the 309x will go from Mangere to the city in the morning and from the city to Mangere in the afternoon. The 352 and 368/369 services however will go both ways during the morning and afternoon peak period.
South Auckland Routes: Local services: 314, 322, 324, 326, 371, 373, 374, 376, 378
Peak Period services: 309x, 322, 352, 360x, 368/369
At least every 15 minutes, 7am – 7pm, 7 days a week. Lower frequencies early morning and evenings.

The consultation period for the public to provide input on the proposed network ran from Wednesday 19 June to Friday 2 August 2013. During this period, consultation activities comprised the following:
Eight public open days were held during July in locations around South Auckland for people to find out what was being proposed and provide their views. Approximately 100 people attended these events. 13 promotional days were held at markets and town centres in June/July prior to the Open Days to get out amongst the people of South Auckland in their environment to raise awareness of the consultation and to answer basic questions.
A hard copy brochure including a feedback form was disseminated widely throughout the community (over 50,000 personally handed out) including:
Handed out at bus stops, train stations and key interchanges by Auckland Transport Ambassadors
Auckland Council buildings (incl Local Boards), libraries and Citizens Advice Bureaux
Open Days and Promo days
Mailed to stakeholders (Disability Groups, CCOs, Councillors, MPs, Advisory Groups, Bus Operators, Retirement Homes, Maori/Marae, residents living on streets where we were proposing new services, Veolia, KiwiRail etc.)
Available on board some bus services operating within South Auckland
Available on the Auckland Transport website and links from the Public Transport (ex MAXX) website
The brochure was translated into Maori, Korean, Samoan, Tongan, Hindi, Punjabi and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and downloadable from our website. Various versions for the visually impaired could also be downloaded from our website. These were created in conjunction with the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind.
The public could also complete the feedback form online.
The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind also had a telephone information service where members could listen to an audio version of the consultation document.
Engagement with MPs, local boards and other key stakeholders prior to consultation
Weekly teleconferences with local boards
Media and communications to promote the consultation included:
Posters and flyers distributed around the area, on buses and trains, at stations, and handed out by ambassadors
Posters at key bus stops and all bus stops that were proposed to be closed as part of the new network
Flyers distributed through a mail drop in the area
Mailout to streets where new bus services were proposed
Content and advertising in the New Zealand Herald, suburban papers, ethnic papers and OurAuckland
Radio and online advertising
Messages scrolling across real time travel signs at bus stops/train stations, messages on the online journey planner
Emails and e-newsletters sent to a range of stakeholders, Auckland Council's People's Panel members, AT's Research Panel and subscribers to the New Network e-newsletter.
Detailed information on the Auckland Transport website including a New Network video.
In response to these activities Auckland Transport received 1148 official feedback forms – 565 online and 583 hard copy. 31 Free form submissions were received from key stakeholders such as Businesses/Business Associations, Disability Groups/Representatives, Health Representatives, Unions, Public Transport Operators, Local Boards and Representative Groups. In addition the following were received:

Team Manurewa (a local Manurewa action group) printed and distributed newsletters and submission forms to local residents and train passengers about the proposed closure of the Te Mahia station. 411 submission slips were received. Team Manurewa also created a newsletter and submission slip for Randwick Park residents as it was proposed to remove the bus route from Shifnal Drive. They also added an option for residents to respond on the proposed Te Mahia station closure. 128 submission slips were received.

The main themes from the feedback were:
Overall, 56% of participants supported the proposed new network and 22% were opposed. Seventeen per cent were neutral and 5% weren't sure.

End of Figure.
Just less than two-thirds of participants (64%) said they could get to where they needed to by using the new network, but a quarter (26%) said they couldn't.
Participants were fairly split in their opinions about whether the new network would encourage greater public transport use. Just under a third (31%) felt it would encourage them to use public transport more, 22% felt it would result in them using less public transport and 36% felt it wouldn't impact the frequency with which they use it.
By far the most commonly mentioned positive attribute of the new network was the proposed increase in service frequencies. Participants felt this would mean less time waiting at bus stops, and faster journey times, especially during the weekend. Some also liked the way this would allow them to 'turn up and go' rather than having to refer to/rely on a timetable.
Participants also liked the integration between different public transport services, a reduction in duplication of services and the general simplification of the network. Some felt this was similar to overseas cities' public transport networks, which work well.
Others were positive about integrated ticketing, improved accessibility and better environmental outcomes associated with the new network, among other things.
Conversely, the most frequently mentioned reason for not liking the new network was the need to transfer from one service to another and the impact this would have on convenience and journey times.
Also, there were concerns about the loss of direct routes (particularly into the city centre along Great South Road) and express services. Some participants felt this change was unnecessary and inefficient, and would increase journey times.
Some felt that the new network did not provide sufficient coverage for the areas they needed to go to, with a number of different areas mentioned.
In addition, some had concerns about the potential over-reliance on the train network (and the consequences of this if/when the train services are affected), the capacity of the trains to cope with extra passengers, and the removal of local bus stops
Fares and integrated ticketing was a frequently mentioned theme across the feedback. While a number of people were positive about integrated ticketing and integrated fares, some thought that since there were more 'stages' the fares would increase.
Overall there was qualified support for the New Network in South Auckland – particularly the increase in service frequencies.
There were a number of key themes that emerged repeatedly. In many cases, participants mentioned the same theme (for example the removal of express buses) in response to a number of different questions – such as in response to "why won't the network encourage you to use public transport more often?" and "what don't you like about the proposed new network and why?" for example.
Further analysis has been conducted to assess how many participants mentioned each key theme at some stage in their feedback – regardless of whether they mentioned the theme in response to one question or more often. This allows us to determine the overall prevalence of that theme/opinion as a proportion of all participants.
Across all questions concerning the new network, the most frequently mentioned theme concerned costs, fares, integrated ticketing and the AT HOP card. A number of participants were concerned about the potential for fare increases under the new network if an integrated system wasn't introduced – and conversely a number of people talked about the benefits of an integrated ticketing system. Also, people mentioned a range of issues associated with buying tickets and the HOP card (such as the ability to purchase them on board and at other locations).
Another major theme was concern about the potential loss of express bus services and the cancellation of buses along Great South Road into the city centre. A number of people felt that removing express buses into central Auckland along Great South Road (and other areas to a lesser extent) was a step too far, and requested that these be retained. Nine percent of participants raised concerns about the potential over-reliance on trains, and what would happen if the trains broke down or could not run for some reason.
Finally, 6% of participants had concerns about the potential closure of Te Mahia Station and 4% had similar concerns about the closure of Westfield Station.
The table below outlines the themes and a summary of Auckland Transport's response.

Transcriber's Note:
The table has been converted to a list with headings. The columns labelled "Proposed Route Number" and "Proposed Route" have been combined to form one heading.
End of Note.
Final Decision: No change, route to remain as proposed
Final Route Number: 30
Route Type: Frequent
Final Route: Onehunga To Manukau Via Airport
Frequency: At least every 15 minutes
Rationale behind final decisions: Frequent routes need to be most direct. One airport service that will be branded and easily marketed to customers. Mangere Bridge customers can change at Mangere Bridge Village or Mangere Town Centre from 309 service. Otahuhu customers can catch the frequent 32 to connect with the 30.
Final Decision: Change from Connector to Local
Renumber 314
Route to commence in Flat Bush/Ormiston and finish at Papatoetoe station
Final Route Number: 314
Route Type: Local
Final Route: Papatoetoe Station to Flat Bush via Otara and Ormiston Rd Peak every 30 minutes
Frequency: Off Peak every 60 minutes
Rationale behind final decisions: 31B to become frequent route 31 therefore additional frequency not required between Mangere and Otara on an extra route. No longer 2 connector routes creating a frequent service as requests for no A/B services.
Local Service provides access to Papatoetoe train station and bus routes (Otara, Hunters Corner and Papatoetoe) for onward journeys for people in Ormiston/Flat Bush
Final Decision: Route to remain as proposed but be upgraded to Frequent and renumbered 31
Final Route Number: 31
Route Type: Frequent
Final Route: Mangere Town Centre to Botany via Papatoetoe, Hunters Corner and Otara
Frequency: At least every 15 minutes

Final Route Number: 309x
Route Type: Peak Only
Final Route: Mangere Town Centre to City via Favona, Mangere Bridge, Queenstown Rd and Pah Rd (non-stop from Greenwoods Corner to Newmarket)

Final Decision: Delete Route: Potential for future route investigation as area develops and demand increases
Final Route Number: Deleted
Route Type: Deleted
Final Route: Deleted
Frequency: Deleted
Rationale behind final decisions: Submitter requests to not have a service on Westney Road due to 2 schools and SPCA. Local Board and community fought hard to stop trucks using Westney/Kirkbride as many local school children have to cross Westney Road.
PT Planners drove route and found that Westney has 3 1/2 tonnes weight restrictions, difficult to turn right into Massey Road (6 minutes), pedestrian lights to left and right so would need signalised intersection and removal of pedestrian crossings, kids crossing in front of buses, not large catchment.
Extension of 313 will go past Westney Road to service this area and provide connections to Onehunga, Mangere Bridge, Mangere Town Centre, Papatoetoe and Manukau
Final Decision: Extension of route to Onehunga via Orly Ave – Thomas Rd – Massey Rd – Kirkbride Rd – McKenzie Rd – Miller Rd – Mountain Rd – Coronation Rd and motorway
Final Route Number: 313
Route Type: Connector
Final Route: Onehunga to Manukau via Mangere Bridge, Mangere Town Centre, Henwood Rd, Old Papatoetoe and Wallace Rd
Frequency: *Peak every 20 minutes
*Off Peak every 30 minutes

Westney, Mountain, Kirkbride, McKenzie etc. lost connections therefore this extension cretes connectiosn with Onehunga, Mangere Bridge, Mangere, Papatoetoe and Manukau.
Requests for Mangere Bridge to Manukau and Onehunga to Manukau direct.
*Exact frequency of 313 extension to be determined as part of tendering process

Landon and Milton Rd not good for buses, cars parked on-street everywhere, car park full
Final Decision: 319 to be extended to Auckland City in peak hours and renumbered 322. Commence at Otahuhu interchange and go through Town Centre then along Grt Sth Rd and into Kalmia at Ellerslie.

City end to follow current route Symonds St to Customs Street.
Final Route Number: 322
Route Type: Local
Final Route: Otahuhu Station to Ellerslie Station via Penrose
Otahuhu Station to CBD via Ellerslie Station (Peak only)
Frequency: Peak every 30 minutes

Rationale behind final decisions: Submitters requesting retention of Otahuhu to city and Otahuhu express services. Otahuhu to Symonds St connection.
Saleyards Road not a good pedestrian environment. Great South Rd more pedestrians. Rail replacement bus stop for Westfield currently on Great South Rd. Lots of trucks on Saleyards Road – not good for bus stops.
Issues with capacity of peak buses along Great South Rd, between Harp of Erin and city if all southern buses removed. Current Howick and Eastern services at capacity.
Peak/express services are transitional and will be reviewed once the New Network, including electrification and integrated fares, has been in place for a reasonable period of time.
*Another option is being investigated to serve this area so the 322 route has not yet been finalised and is subject to change
Final Decision: Amend the route to follow current 409 to Seaside Park via Princes St and back to Otahuhu interchange via Frank Grey Place, Trenwith St, Water St and Avenue Rd
