Generation Zero Blog Fixing the OuterLink to improve our bus network in Tāmaki Makaurau!

The Outer Link is one of Auckland’s most iconic bus routes. It has helped grow public transport patronage by linking many of our key attractions with a good frequency and its distinctive orange branding.

Our city is maturing and as part of this our public transport network is changing from a focus on providing for peak trips to our city centre, to complete network that connects its citizens to everywhere at all times of the day. Auckland Transport has proposed splitting the Outer Link roughly in half, with one service running between Pt Chev and Newmarket through the city (referred to as the Outer Link), and the other running between Pt Chev and Glen Innes (following the route of the 650, and referred to as the 65).
