During August–September, the Northwest Rapid Transit project team hosted 13 pop-up information sessions over 7 locations in the northwest area.
The purpose of the engagement was to share recent project developments, including the preferred mode and proposed station locations, and hear customers' experiences with the recently established WX1 service.
During these sessions, we asked people to let us know what’s important to them and we took note of feedback, questions and concerns people had in relation to the project and their experiences with public transport across Auckland. The feedback is being considered and integrated into the development of the design.
We had conversations with over 650 people who attended our sessions. Your feedback, which we have collated into a feedback summary, will be used to continue to inform our investigations and help make decisions on the Northwest Busway project.
Overall, the sentiment from these sessions was very positive with high levels of support for the project.
For reporting purposes, the feedback has been summarised into key themes below.

During 2023, we asked questions about people’s travel experiences and the types of things they think we should be considering as part of our investigations.
Nearly 4000 people completed our engagement survey and the feedback is summarised here:
