MAXX best way to spend an evening with Burt Bacharach at Vector Arena

Burt Bacharach fans heading to Vector Arena this Friday to see him perform alongside the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra can leave the car at home, as public transport services by the Auckland Regional Transport Authority will have them arriving right at the door.

A great way to get to the concert is taking The Link bus, which stops on Beach Road close to Vector Arena. Passengers can catch The Link from various locations around the CBD, Parnell, Newmarket, Karangahape Road and Ponsonby. The cash fare is $1.60 one way.

Vector Arena is approximately 10 minutes’ walk from Britomart Transport Centre and the Downtown Ferry Terminal. A regular timetable will be operating for all buses, trains and ferries travelling to Britomart, and normal fares will apply.

Regular late night train services will be operating on the Southern, Eastern and Western Lines.

Regular ferry services from Auckland to Devonport will be running until 1.00am, and the last ferry service to Waiheke will depart Auckland at 11.45pm.

Passengers are advised to allow plenty of time to get to Vector Arena in time for the show.

Burt Bacharach fans planning to use public transport to and from the concert can get more information from MAXX on (09) 366 6400 or visit www.maxx.co.nz
