As the City Rail Link project passes its first year of construction, more and more Aucklanders are leaving the car at home and taking the train to work in the CBD according to Auckland Transport (AT).
More than 90,000 people work in the city centre daily, and that is growing according to transport data over the past 12 months. The morning peak in September was 1.6% higher than a year previously.
Fewer people are bringing in their car according to AT. In September 2015, 54% of peak morning visitors were in a private car. This year the number has fallen to 49%.
More Aucklanders are using public transport and cycling. Train patronage in October was 17.7% higher than the previous October.
Mean peak traffic speeds in the city centre are the same or slightly higher than before CRL began.
