I used to be an advocate for Auckland Transport (AT), but not any more. Auckland is the largest city in the country and one of the most desirable city to live in the world. But public transport system is terrible. AT keeps increasing prices without improving their service:
1. Trains
I am everyday train user and experience so many disrupts lately. AT stopped train services recently for maintenance but they still have track faults. Someone should be account for that! If disrupts happened so often in Moscow, the city would have been paralyzed. I am surprised that Aucklanders can tolerate such an incompetence and significant inconvenience. I am sick to accept apologies. Something should be done!
2. Buses
Buses timetable should be adjusted to trains and ferries. I come to train station and have only 5 mins gap to change to bus. Of course AT trains run late and my next bus in an hour (!!!). Ridiculous!!!

3. Mobile app/Boards
Is it so difficult to synchronize app and all information boards around city?
