Bus route 999 will run one way around Warkworth every 30 minutes, enhancing local access to public transport. 

Project overview

Auckland Transport, in partnership with the Rodney Local Board, is implementing a new a one-way bus service. The new bus route, 999, will run one way around Warkworth in a clockwise direction approximately every 30 minutes.

Route 999 will enhance access to public transport for local commuters along Percy Street, Lilburn Street, Pulham Road, Woodcocks Road, Mansel Drive and Hill Street. These bus stops aim to provide residents with convenient access to the bus route, improving public transport connectivity within the community and safety for buses, bus users, pedestrians and other road users.

To allow buses to pull into and out of the proposed bus stops safely, some parking will be removed as part of this proposal. We understand that the removal of parking can be inconvenient, so we’ve minimised it as much as possible.
