The Northern Busway is a core component of Auckland's strategic public transport network and forms the backbone for public transport services on the North Shore.
The busway provides an opportunity to avoid congestion on the motorway, resulting in much faster travel times during morning and evening peak periods. The busway also significantly increases the capacity of the motorway corridor, making it possible for more people to travel and supporting the growth of northern Auckland.
