The East-West and Southern lines merge into streamlined routes — the new East-West line stretches from Manukau to Swanson, while the South City line loops around the CBD. The Onehunga line extends to Henderson as the Onehunga West line. Fares stay the same, but travel times drop dramatically — bus transfers vanish, trips cut from 40 to under 30 minutes. Timetables adjust too: peak hours see trains every 10 minutes in the city, off-peak every 15, and the Onehunga West runs every 30 minutes during select hours. It’s all about making public transport more efficient — no extra cost, just less hassle for Aucklanders. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
