Improved
transport connections for South Auckland are
here.
Minister of Transport Michael Wood and Auckland
Mayor Phil Goff officially opened the long-awaited upgraded
Puhinui Station in Papatoetoe this morning.
A public
open day then saw hundreds of people through the doors to
check out the stunning $69M architecturally-designed
facility.
From this Monday – there will be faster,
more frequent and easier connections to Auckland Airport –
with the new station providing connections to the electric
AirportLink bus fleet.
Closed off for construction
since September 2019, the fully-staffed station now includes
new escalators, stairs and large lifts to accommodate
customers with luggage.
