New Zealand: Rail disruptions to occur in Auckland April 15-18 due to maintenance works
Rail disruptions to occur in Auckland, New Zealand, April 15-18 amid planned upgrades. Increased demand for alternative transport likely.
Event
KiwiRail will conduct maintenance and upgrade works in Auckland April 15-18. The rail operator will suspend all services in the metropolitan area during the period. Auckland Transport will provide replacement bus service for the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Onehunga lines.
Service disruptions are likely to increase demand for alternative transport, including buses, taxis, and ride-hailing services. Increased traffic congestion is also likely, as some commuters will probably use private vehicles for travel during the holiday weekend.
Advice
Confirm services if planning to use replacement buses. Plan for increased congestion on roadways and alternative transport. Allow extra time to reach destinations.
