Pakuranga to Botany Project Timeline

South Eastern Busway

An urban busway between Panmure Station, Pakuranga and Botany is a key part of improving transport choices in the area.

Low numbers use public transport because buses get caught in congestion, resulting in long travel times. The busway would cut journey times by public transport significantly and ease pressure on congestion.

What is the South Eastern Busway?

• Anurbanbusway,differenttotheNorthernBusway.Itwillbedesignedtofitintheurbanarea.

• Hasseparaterightofwayforbusessotheydon’tgetcaughtincongestion

• Willimprovejourneytimesandbusreliability

• Allowshigherfrequencyofbuses

• Highqualitybusstops,withintersectionsdesignedtoprovideimprovedconnectionsandsafetyforpedestrians.

• LocalbusserviceswilremainandusethebuswaywhentheygettoPakurangaRdandTiRakauDr

• Additionalbusserviceswillbeprovidedovertimetoincreasefrequencies.
