ARTA Annual Report 2009 - Auckland Transport

ARTA is training for the Rugby World Cup 2011:

With the Rugby World Cup 2011 in mind, ARTA is focused on delivering an efficient public transport system.
The World Cup will be the largest global sporting event for the year, and traffic and transport management
will play a crucial role. We are up to these challenges and look forward to delivering a transport solution
that not only Aucklanders can be proud of, but all New Zealanders.
Other focuses for ARTA moving forward include progressing the development of a single multi-modal
integrated ticket, a key enabler for encouraging more people to make public transport their choice.
Auckland’s ticket will be the only ticket in the country to include rail, bus and ferry. Next year, two major
transport hubs will also be opened in Auckland – Newmarket train station, the second biggest train station
on the network, and in the west, New Lynn train station. Both train stations will usher in an era of modern
integrated stations, the like of which have not been seen before in New Zealand since the opening of
Britomart.
The ARTA Board and I are committed to delivering as good a transport system as we possibly can. We are
very proud of the achievements that have been made to date and look forward to the exciting projects in
development coming to fruition to deliver transport solutions for the region.
