A vast change to what's been promised for Auckland City Rail Link's opening capacity.
In 2022, it was reported 27 thousand peak passengers would be using the rail line from opening day next year.
That's now gone down to 19 thousand passengers an hour at peak times.
AT Public Transport Director Stacey van der Putten told Mike Hosking the 27 thousand figure merged a few different elements including design capacity, timetabling, and patronage.
She points out that 19,000 is still a significant increase on current numbers, as it’s still a 50% increase in patronage.
Van der Putten told Hosking it will take some effort to rebuild confidence in the rail network after the prolonged disruption, but there’s plenty of enthusiasm for the new line.
