Does anyone know why AT buses on Lower Albert Street sit idling at the top of the road with doors closed for several minutes before departure, instead of loading passengers at the actual stop?

I’ve noticed buses often wait up the road until about 1–2 minutes before departure time, then finally pull into the stop and open the doors. By then there are so many people waiting that not everyone can board before the scheduled departure time.

The result is the bus leaves “on time” but half empty, while passengers are left behind. It makes absolutely no sense operationally or from a customer perspective.

Surely it would make more sense to let passengers board while the bus is waiting anyway? Has anyone reported this to Auckland Transport, and if so what’s the best way to do it?

I have started using Bevel 2 weeks ago. I love health apps and initially I thought “wow, this is incredible” but after 2 weeks I’m little lost. I now just feel like it just gathers info from all other apps and puts it in one place like Health. I feel like it just tells me to stop moving when strain is heigh and to move when it’s low. I honestly started to think that I don’t really get it. Am I using it wrong?

Hey! I was out for a walk in the city at lunchtime yesterday and noticed a bag on the footpath, an older lady even kicked it right in front of me. I picked it up and found a camera inside.

Q: Do you know if there’s a lost and found place in Auckland where I could hand it in, or should I just take it to my local police station?
