I catch this bus when I have time because believe it or not the bus service can actually delay you. Those damned traffic lights that always favour the passengers cause the bus to travel slow. But if you have time and aren't in a hurry then take the bus. It travels from Britomart up Queen Street to Kroad then another travels from Wynard Quarter to Britomart up Queen Street to K Road.

Not knowing anyone in Auckland who was able to pick me up from the airport when I just moved up,…read morethe service offered by Airbus Express was invaluable. Pickups from right outside the airport, you can either pay at the little booth outside or cash on-board. It takes all the stress out of travel to/ and from the airport so you can kick back and relax during the journey. It goes right down central Queen street and terminates at the ferry terminal downtown, and you are able to hop on at any point. The bus also comes every 15 minutes during the week and weekdays. The awesome thing about this service is you never hit any traffic at all cause the bus commandeers the bus lanes to zip through the city. It also helps that every bs driver I have had on this service drives like a bat out of hell. The bus drivers are super knowledgable and friendly and the prices are great. Winning!

Reception obtained a quote of $15 while we were present, we agreed to this. Our room number was given. The taxi arrived on time, quoted our room number and took us to the international terminal. I had the $15 ready to hand over, however, the driver insisted that the fare was $30. I told him we had a quote for $15 but he was very rude and argumentative, he insisted on phoning 'the office' who he said had no record of this quote. (He had our room number correct though). I phoned Sudima to discuss this on our return and was told that this has happened to numerous guests - they are given a quote of $15 when booking taxis for guests, only to have the driver charge more on arrival at the airport.

Admittedly , when South Park talked about Priuses they showed them as leading to an air of smug self aggrandization, and maybe catching Green Cabs does lead to a bit of a feeling of increased importance, but it's better then getting a corporate cab or something just for the same feeling. Their website has a fare calculator which can be very useful if you want to know how to split the fare between friends, and you can also set up an account with which to do online bookings for even cheaper.

Discount Taxis have both vans and cars in their fleet, so if there is a big group of you they are usually able to accommodate for that. Unlike most other taxi companies, when you ask for a van they actually send one - so you don't have to worry about them sending two or three cars and having to pay triple the fare with these guys. The drivers are also pretty friendly and not creepy - another bonus if you're a girl travelling by herself. Last time I caught a Discount Taxi, the driver even opened the door and her played great music the whole way to town. Next time you're in need of a cab give these guys a go!

Stopped at almost all of the stops along the Red Route. Blue Route was less interesting to us. Stop 1- The heart of the city is at the Queens Wharf and the Central Business District. Loved the historic buildings, shops and restaurants. Saw the International Buskers Festival. Watched the boats come into harbor. Stop 2- The Sky Tower is pricy, but gives a great view of the city. A short uphill climb from our hotel apartment. Stop 3- The Art Museum and Albert Park. The Guo Pei exhibit was so interesting. A very eclectic museum. Stop 5- The Auckland War Memorial Museum and the switch to the blue line or red line depending on which way you came. Easy to walk from this stop to the Winter Garden. Stop 6- The Holy Trinity Cathedral. Closed on Auckland Day. Easy to walk from here to Parnell Village and then stop #7. Stop 7- Pick up a lamb or meat pie on the way to this stop. Stop 8- Bastion Point has stunning views of Auckland. The memorial is beautiful as well. Stop 9- The aquarium, because who doesn't love penguins? Happy Feet! Stop 10 - The Winter Garden has the most beautiful flowers in the glass greenhouses. The fernery is interesting, too. Pricy, but we got a great taste of Auckland.
