I am dismayed to see that the bus stop outside 74 Cockle Bay road has been removed by, I can only assume, Auckland Transport.
This stop has a dedicated shoulder for the bus to pull into, minimising traffic disruption and is conveniently located half way up Cockle Bay Road.
At a time when New Zealanders are being called out of their cars and onto public transport, why would we be reducing the number of bus stops and creating another barrier to use?
This sounds like the decision making of the same bureaucrat that’s removed many of our local rubbish bins. What’s the next thing to go – traffic
lights?
