The purpose of the RUB is to standardise urban bus requirements across regional councils and Auckland Transport (AT) to create efficiencies and improve the usability and accessibility of buses for all customers.
Since the RUB was first issued in 2008, it has undergone several updates including an update in February 2022 which incorporated the 2025 mandate to move to a zero-emission fleet from 2025 and charging specifications for electric buses.
This most recent update (effective 1 July 2024) includes the specifications for optional bus driver protection screens.
