Consultation has concluded

Consultation outcome

After reviewing the feedback we received, we are proceeding with the proposal of installing new bus stops on Walters Road and Sandringham Road to serve the 64 bus service. The 64 bus will be removed from Walters Road and Sandringham Road in conjunction with the opening of the City Rail Link and Maungawhau Station and when this happens the bus stops will be removed.

What happens next

These changes will be installed before 17 November 2024.

About the project

The 64 route is now well established and used by around 1,000 passengers per day. From 17 November, route 64 will be extended to run all the way to St Lukes via Sandringham Road. This will create a new connection between St Lukes, Kingsland, Mount Eden and Newmarket.

This change will include: 

  • Buses running in in both directions on Walters Road and not on Onslow Road. Because the buses no longer need to turn around at Kingsland they do not need to travel on Onslow Road.
  • Buses running every 12 minutes during the day and every 15 minutes in the evening.
  • Buses running an additional half-hour in the evening until 11pm (from 10.30pm). There is no change to morning services start.

This route via Walters Road and Sandringham Road will be on a trial basis and will be reviewed after monitoring how people’s travel patterns change following the opening of Maungawhau Station. A consultation will take place within 18 months of the station opening.


What we are proposing

  • A new bus stop on the southern side of Walters Avenue at the Sandringham Road end for people to use the bus to get to and from the train station and Kowhai Intermediate.
  • Another stop will be added on the western side of Sandringham Road just south of the Walters Road intersection for buses travelling from St Lukes.


Why we are proposing it

Aucklanders want a better public transport system that is convenient, well-connected, accessible and reliable. Auckland Transport (AT) is on a mission to:

  • Increase public transport use to reduce congestion
  • Improve access for Aucklanders
  • Support the economy and enhance the environment.

Buses can move more people while using less space and new frequent bus services will make St Lukes, Newmarket, Mt Eden, Kingsland Station and other destinations easier to get to and more accessible.

With the extension of route 64 being to St Lukes via Sandringham Road it is no longer required to turn buses around at Kingsland. Rather than continuing to run the bus on Onslow Road unnecessarily, we will run it on Walters Road in both directions because this is a shorter route and it is more intuitive to run it on the same street in both directions for ease of use.

Because the 64 bus will then no longer go past the existing bus stop outside Kingsland Station new bus stops are needed so people can get on and off the bus within easy walking distance of the station.

We had considered installing both the bus stops on Walters Road but believe this would be too disruptive to the residents of the houses on the north side of the street.

The location on Sandringham Road, while it is in a bus lane, will provide relatively close access to Kingsland Station without needing to cross any roads.

A similar bus stop on the Eden Park side of Sandringham Road would need to be located sufficiently south of the Walters Rd intersection to enable safe stopping with good site around a bending road. This was considered unnecessarily far from Kingsland Station, especially with the inclined walk from this potential bus stop to the station.

Benefits & Impacts

  • Bus stops to get people to and from Kingsland. These bus stops are near Kingsland Station, Kingsland shops, Kowhai Intermediate and other bus services
  • The bus stops are not directly in front of residential houses
  • On-street parking space for about five vehicles at each location will be removed to create the bus stops.


What we want your feedback on

  • What do you think of these plans?
  • Have we got the locations right?
  • Have we missed anything?
