Due to various factors such as the unique shape of the Auckland isthmus, the suburban nature of the urban area and an emphasis on road construction over public transport development, the city’s transportation system is heavily reliant on private vehicles.
However, efforts are being made to improve public transport in Auckland, with rail, tram, bus and metro services being extensively developed in recent years.
These developments are part of a larger plan to create an efficient, sustainable and integrated transportation network that caters to the needs of all Aucklanders.
While the city’s motorways continue to be a vital part of its road network, the focus is slowly shifting towards creating a seamless and convenient public transport system that reduces congestion and promotes sustainable modes of travel.
Overall, the future of transportation in Auckland looks bright as the city continues to invest in public transport infrastructure and services.
