Disabled travellers
Many public transport vehicles in Auckland are able to carry wheelchairs, however it is advised to contact your bus, train or ferry operator to check before you travel.
Buses
Most of the newer buses have wheelchair access, and internal designated areas for wheelchair passengers. Look for the international wheelchair sign on the front of these buses. The driver will operate the ramp and help wheelchair passengers pay their fare. Wheelchair passengers will need to be able to wheel themselves on board.
A row of seats towards the front of most buses is identified as especially available for the elderly or physically disabled. Please help us make these passengers' journey easier by allowing them to sit in these seats.
Trains
Wheelchairs may be carried at any time and all train services are equipped with wheelchair ramps. Some types of small mobility scooters may also be carried in off-peak times.
If you require assistance boarding the train or travelling on the train, please ask either the on-board or platform staff.
Ferries
Wheelchairs can be taken aboard most ferries. If you require assistance boarding the ferry from a suitable waiting point, please contact the ferry operator to arrange this in advance. If you require assistance while travelling on the ferry, please ask the on-board crew.
