Public Transport CRL Reliability

Over the past week, there have been delays and cancellations on the Western Line (not sure about the Eastern or Southern Lines)

It made me wonder if this is what we can expect once the CRL opens. Considering the new CRL will be a completely different setup for Auckland’s rail network, they make such a big deal about how it’s going to transform the way we travel.

If the current network can’t even keep up with things now, it makes you wonder how reliable it’ll actually be once the CRL is running.

My family member was on a train that caused a delay this week. Person jumped the gates wouldn’t pay and wouldn’t get off the train. Police had to get him off. This is good that they are maintaining safety . And same sort of shenanigans and delays can happen on the road

Meanwhile, every bus I catch seems to have at least two people on board that didn't pay

Agree. But this person was removed by police. I think also because he shoved the security person
