TRANSPORTATION



In New Zealand, main transportations are train, bus, ferry, and taxi. “TRANZCOASTAL” and “TRANZALPINE” lines run in New Zealand. In 2003, subway and railway were opened traffic. Sometime train doesn’t come on time, but New Zealanders has mild character, so they don’t make complaint if train is late a little.

In Auckland, “Stage Coach Bus” runs from the center of city to throughout Auckland. “Link Bus” run the center of city. It doesn’t have time table, but electric bulletin boards are placed each bus stops, so you can get the information what time will next bus come. “CITY CIRCUIT” runs the center of city every day. Many people use this bus because it is free.

Many people take a taxi at a taxi stand. As characteristic of New Zealand taxi, there are many kinds. Those types of car are an ordinary car, van and so on. Basic fare is a pay-by-meter system same as Japan. The starting fare is around 2 dollars.
