Fuel crisis fears spark talks on public transport
Auckland Transport has had discussion with ferrry and bus operators about the impact of an international fuel crisis on services to and from Devonport. It is maintaining service levels and network reliability to give Aucklanders confidence in their ability to get to where
they need to be, said Stacey van der Putten, AT director of public transport and active modes. “We have had discussions with all operators, both ferry and bus, about any effects the current fuel situation might have on their businesses.” Regarding ferry services, she said, “At
this stage we are working through what the different stages may entail, but we are not reducing any sailings at the moment.” The Flagstaff has been told one option if fuel was cut short would be a “Covid” timetable, which brought a reduction of sailings around peak times.
