North Shore Buslane Extended Through St Mary’s Bay
From tomorrow (Thursday 9 January), bus commuters to Auckland from the North Shore will find their journey smoother and
faster because of a new bus priority initiative through St Mary’s Bay.
A change to the Transit bylaw will allow city bound buses to use the emergency stopping shoulder as a buslane during the
morning peak period Monday to Friday between 6.30am and 9.30am. This will extend the buslane a further 850 metres from
the Shelly Beach Road Bridge to Fanshawe Street.
“During heavily congested periods this could see bus commuters shaving several minutes off their journey time,” says
Transit’s North Shore Busway Project Director Clive Fuhr.
