Public transport in Hamilton and Waikato

Hamilton Transport Centre from Anglesea St

Public transport is poorly developed in the Waikato Region, with only 0.9% of trips made by bus in 2013/14. This compares with 2.3% nationally,[1] which itself is amongst the lowest proportions in the world.[2] Waikato, like all other regions, with the exception of Auckland and Wellington, has seen falls in use of public transport since 2012.[3] As the map shows, the coverage is sparse and, even of those services which operate daily, most have only 2 or 3 buses a day in each direction. Only Hamilton urban services and those to Huntly run hourly, or more frequently.

Hamilton has 26 bus routes covering most of its urban area.[4] Buses also serve Cambridge, Coromandel, Huntly, Mangakino, Morrinsville, Ngaruawahia, Paeroa, Port Waikato, Pukekohe, Raglan, Taupo, Thames, Te Aroha, Te Awamutu, Te Kauwhata, Tirau, Putaruru and Tokoroa.[5] Tairua Bus serves Whitianga and Ngatea.[6] A summer shuttle runs between Hahei and Cathedral Cove.[7]

Current and former routes

The radial routes and most rural services are contracted to GoBus (successor to Buses Ltd - see Hamilton routes below). Pavlovich operate the most frequent services, the Orbiter (serving the edge of the CBD and the main suburban destinations, such as the Hospital, The Base, Chartwell and Waikato University) and the CBD Shuttle.[8]

InterCity and Naked Bus operate long distance services and some regional connections.

The only remaining passenger train is the Northern Explorer.

Ferries remain at Whitianga,[9] Tairua[10] and linking Auckland and Coromandel.[11]

Shuttle buses provide the only public transport to a number of places, including Hamilton Airport[12] and Whangamata.[13]

History

AARD Hudson buses at Frankton Junction early 1920s loaded with mailbags.

Public transport in Waikato started with ships and boats serving rivers, coastal beaches and ports. Those on the Waikato and Waipa were gradually displaced by the extending North Island Main Trunk railway and its branches. As roads developed, coaches started to link railway stations with other settlements.

From about 1915 service cars replaced coaches, though there were many accounts of poor roads (see External links). By 1924 the service car network[15] was more extensive than the current services.[16] In 1929 the Northern Steamship Co ended its passenger services,[17] which had served ports such as Coromandel, Kawhia, Port Waikato, Raglan, Tairua, Thames and Whangamata.[18] Some services were suspended during World War 2 due to rubber and petrol shortages.[19]

Waikato had only one passenger tram route and that just from 1871 to 1874.[20] In 1906 Hamilton's mayor proposed a tram to link with Frankton Junction,[21] but voters rejected it.[22]

The Land Transport Act 1998 added transport to Regional Council's responsibilities.[23]

In December 2016, it was reported that Pavlovich Coachlines passengers would receive free rides due to a worker protest.[24]

Hamilton City routes

Route Start Finish Route No. Notes
Hamilton city 1-18, 26, 29, 51 There are currently 26 routes serving Hamilton urban area.[25] Most operate to a half-hourly frequency, the exceptions being the Orbiter[26] (started July 2006[27] and to be increased to a 15 minute frequency in 2017/18)[28] and the free CBD Shuttle[29] (started April 2006).[27] Apart from the Saturday night services, no buses run after 9.40pm.

An advert in 1 June 1937 Railways Magazine showed 10 buses (until 1927 there had been 14 run by Watson, Jubilee and Blue bus companies)[30] in the Buses Ltd (Blue Buses) fleet and said they met all trains at Frankton Junction. Buses Ltd had cut its fares in 1928 to achieve a virtual monopoly by driving Green Bus Co. out of business.[31] No buses now serve the railway station, which has only 6 trains a week.[32]

Frankton 1913 8 2 Chelmsford steam buses, imported for a Devonport-Takapuna service in 1904,[33] were unsuccessful and were railed to Hamilton in 1906.[34] They probably failed to be profitable on the Frankton route too (possibly because of tyre damage on the rough roads),[35] as horses were again the motive power by 1910.[36] No mention was made of the steam buses when new services were being planned in 1911,[37] 1912[38] and 1913,[39] when Frankton Hamilton Bus Co (A H Hyde) was allowed to put notices on poles[40] to advertise the 5 buses a day in each direction.[41] A 1925 photo shows a bus on the new concrete road in Commerce St, Frankton.[42] A 1930s photo shows a Brockway bus on the Frankton-Hamilton East route.[43]
Hamilton-Temple View 26 After a joint Temple View Community Board / Environment Waikato meeting, the bus route closed on Wed 24 December 1997 "due to low passenger numbers".[44] Temple View became part of Hamilton in 2004, adding 430 hectares and 1,400 people.[45] Route 26 was then extended from Dinsdale. It now runs half hourly weekdays and hourly on Saturdays, taking 23 minutes for the 8 km between the Transport Centre and Cowley Dr, Temple View.[46]

SH1 routes to Cambridge and south east - current route 20

Route Start Finish Route No. Notes
Hamilton-Cambridge 20 Mail coaches were meeting trains initially at Ngaruawahia, from 1877,[47] and Hamilton from 1881.[48] Bus 20 now runs daily, except Christmas Day[49] A Cambridge-Auckland bus started in 1932.[50]
Hamilton-Taupo ? 1923 - Inter City,[51] Mana Bus[52] and Naked Bus[53] provide buses taking about 3 hours for journey the via Rotorua.

1923 reports said service cars were getting stuck between Putaruru and Taupo.[54] From 1924 a route via Cambridge, Hora Hora, Atiamuri, Wairakei was run by Noel Douglas Robertson[55] until 1928 "owing to competition of the Hawkes Bay and Aard Services"[56][57] Railways Road Services took over the Hamilton-Rotorua route in 1937[58] and combined it with their Auckland route.[59]

Tokoroa-Tirau 2015 The Tokoroa Urban Connector began running on 22 June 2015, serving Tokoroa, Putaruru and Tirau[60] It is being funded on an annual basis.[61] A Tokoroa-Putaruru-Hamilton service started in 1946.[62]
Taupo 2004[63] A bus operated by Waipawa Buses[64] serves most of Taupo's suburbs. It was the first Waikato bus with a bike rack.[65]
Auckland-Napier AARD took 13 hours for a route via Hamilton, Rotorua and Taupo by 1938.[66]

SH1 routes to Huntly and north west - current routes 21 and 44

Route Start Finish Route No. Notes
Hamilton-Huntly 1933 21 Buses daily, mostly hourly, the most frequent Waikato bus outside Hamilton[67]

From 1933 a Hamilton-Pukemiro service was run by Buses Ltd[68] (Blue Buses), though, a year earlier, it had been refused on the ground that there was an adequate train service.[69] Buses Ltd ran the Huntly service at least from 1933.[68][70] In 2006 Pavlovich won the Huntly contract.[71] In 2013 the route was renamed 'Northern Connector' and Sunday services added.[72] From 18 April 2017 each bus has 2 bike racks[73] and GoBus takes over from Pavlovich.[74]

Hamilton - Pukekohe 44 via Te Kauwhata - Meremere - runs fortnightly[75] Route 44 is operated by Pavlovich.[8]
Hamilton-Auckland The earliest coach service seems to date back to 1872, departing 6am, arriving 7.30pm, and running alternate days in each direction.[76] Direct Motors was advertising two sedan cars a day in 1928.[77] By 1938 NZR Road Services advertised 3 hours for the journey.[78] Inter City now run 15 buses a day[79] and Naked Bus 6 a day, taking about 2 hours.[80]
Port Waikato-Pukekohe Thursday only bus.[81]
Hamilton-Orini Although licenses were refused for Orini and Whitikahu in 1938,[82] these rural areas, north east of Hamilton, had a bus to the city until about 1970.[83]

Route Start Finish Route No. Notes
Hamilton-Paeroa ?1923 - 22 A mail coach to Te Aroha met trains in 1881.[48] A Coromandel-Thames service car was running in 1920.[86] Buses Ltd took over the A L Dent Te Aroha-Hamilton service in 1932.[87]

The Hamilton-Morrinsville-Paeroa bus is least frequent of the buses connecting Hamilton with neighbouring towns.[88] A bus (No.25) also goes each way to Coromandel along the same route.[89] From 18 April 2017 each bus has 2 bike racks[90] and GoBus takes over[74] from Turley Motors.[91]

Auckland-Paeroa-Waihi 1922 - A Thames-Paeroa service had probably started in 1914, a Thames-Turua service car started in 1919, and services to Ngatea, Pokeno and Auckland in 1922.[92] An AARD service advertised in 1926 as connecting with services to Thames, Waihi and Te Aroha,[93] was later extended to Opotiki.[94] The Thames services were taken over by NZR in 1947.[92]
Waihi-Tauranga ?1919 - A 1919 photo showed a service car outside Waihi Post Office.[95] AARD service advertised in 1926 took 3½hrs.[93] Naked Bus[96] and InterCity[97] now schedule an hour for the 60 km (37 mi).
Auckland-Morrinsville-Te Aroha-Matamata-Tauranga/Rotorua-Taupo 1928 1981 A Matamata-Tauranga motor service was being advertised in 1916[98] and Auckland-Paeroa and Thames in 1926.[99]

Edwards Motors Ltd ran a daily[100] service from 1928 to 1981,[101] being renamed Midland-Edwards Coachlines Ltd from March 1969.[102] In Matamata a purpose built terminal in Broadway was erected in 1954.[103] Edwards Motors Morrinsville Bus Depot was on the corner of Canada and Thames Street in 1968.[104] In 1955 services were being run to Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, Rotorua, Paeroa and Putaruru, with a head office and garage at Gittos St, Auckland.[105] Edwards Motors imported 2 Bedford SB coaches with Duple Vega bodies in 1952/53 for its Auckland - Morrinsville - Matamata service.[106] Edwards introduced New Zealand’s first rear-engined coaches in the summer of 1948, Reo No 21 “The Landliner” for its Auckland–Morrinsville–Matamata–Tauranga service, and, in 1956, the Bedford “Vistaliner” coaches.[107]

W J Stanley got a licence for Matamata-Tauranga in 1936.[108] In 1938 the service car (photo) was caught by a bridge collapse.[109]

Matamata is now served by InterCity Hamilton-Tauranga and Auckland-Rotorua routes.[110]

Matamata-Okauia Service to hot springs in 1933.[68]
Tauranga-Matamata 1916 Service car met Auckland trains - run by H M Griffiths.[111] By 1926 it was part of the AARD services.[93] Trains reached Tauranga in 1927.

SH23 routes to west coast - current route 23

Route Start Finish Route No. Notes
Hamilton-Raglan 1880 23 A coach service started as soon as the road was built. A motor service car was introduced about 1915[56] Operators included Alic Jackson (1880),[112] C.R. Johnston, Hamilton (1895),[113] Dalgleish & McDonald, J.K. Jefferies & Co.,[56] Bob Aitken,[114] R.T. (Dick) Turpin, Noel Douglas Robertson, H. Rogers, Fordy Wade, M. Pavlovich (1966),[56] and, currently, GoBus.[64] From 18 April 2017 each bus has 2 bike racks, an extra weekday bus runs and Sunday buses are restored.[115]
Kawhia-Hamilton 1922 c.1923 From March 1922 a two and a half hour, Pakoka Landing to Frankton, via Te Mata, “Silver Trail”, bus service started, with a motor launch connection to Kawhia on Fridays.[116] Problems with rough roads and tides caused it to fail. (see also SH3 route below)
Kawhia-Auckland 1938 1976 In 1938 Western Highways started a service from Kawhia to Auckland via Makomako, Te Mata, Waingaro and Tuakau (via Highway 22) and back the next day. In 1946 Brosnan Motors started a daily run, leaving Kawhia at 5.45am, arriving at Auckland at 1pm, returning at 2 pm. and back at Kawhia about 9.30pm. In 1950 Brosnan Motors sold the Raglan-Kawhia section to Norman Rankin, who ended it in 1952. Brosnan Motors sold the Raglan-Auckland route to Pavlovich Motors in 1971. The first bus used on the Auckland-Kawhia run was a 7-seater Studebaker. Then a 10-seater Dodge used by Norman Collett later gave way to a 14-seater Oldsmobile. As the roads improved 18 and 21-seater Diamond T buses took over. Later 40-seaters ran from Raglan to Auckland,[117] until Pavlovich closed the route in 1976.[118] Pavlovich later said the route had been purchased to gain a licence with access to the Auckland area.[71]
Te Pahu-Hamilton A Te Pahu-Whatwhata-Hamilton motor mail service was advertised in 1916[119] and 1917.[120]

Transport Centre

Most of Waikato's buses start and end their journeys at the Transport Centre on the corner of Anglesea St and Bryce St. The map of the Centre shows 27 stops in and around it. As well as bus stops and shelters, it has toilets, a cafe, an information counter and a booking office. It opened in 2001 and was designed by Worley Architects.[138] Prior to that the Transport Centre was the name later given to the late 1960s[139] bus station on the other side of Bryce St (now The Warehouse, but once the NZR Road Services depot and bus stops[140]), which was linked by a ramp to the underground station at Hamilton Central.[141] That site and the current centre and neighbouring properties are now included in Development Site 4 in the City's local area plan.[142] In earlier years buses had several terminals, including Frankton Junction[143] and Garden Place.[144]

Bicycle ban

GoBus Hamilton-Huntly, Raglan and Paeroa contracts from 18 April 2017 include free wi-fi and bike racks

The camber of Bryce St at the exit from the Centre has been a reason for Hamilton being the largest city in the country[145][146][147][148] not to carry bicycles on any of its public transport.[149][150] The entrance has been modified to avoid buses gouging the tar seal on Bryce St,[151] but there is still little clearance to allow for bike racks.[152] This probably explains why a 2011 policy to "investigate the feasibility of bikes on buses in the Waikato region"[153] is not in the 2015 Plan.[16] Cycle racks are on Huntly, Paeroa and Raglan buses from 18 April 2017.[74]

Wheelchair accessible buses

In 2014 $4 million spent on 10 low-floor MAN buses made the Hamilton fleet fully wheelchair accessible.[154] A Total Mobility subsidised taxi scheme also operates in Hamilton, Taupo and Tokoroa.[155] Local mobility schemes exist in Huntly, Raglan,[156] Coromandel, Thames, Tairua, Whitianga,[157] Paeroa,[158] Morrinsville, Te Aroha,[159] Cambridge, Te Awamutu,[160] Tokoroa, Putaruru, Tirau,[161] and Te Kuiti.[162]

In the year to March 2016 patronage in Hamilton was down 6.4% to 3,636,214[171] and declined a further 5.3% in Hamilton, and 4.1% on satellite routes, to February 2017.[172]

Overcrowding

Patronage varies greatly, with all seats taken on the Orbiter at rush hours and over 60% full on the Northern Connector (serving Huntly and The Base), Raglan and Silverdale routes. However, a dozen routes have less than a quarter of seats taken in an average rush hour. Over 1,300 buses were full to capacity in 2015/16, 482 of them on the Orbiter route.[177] This has provoked complaints,[178] particularly concerning the infrequent Raglan bus,[179] which was fully loaded 22 times in 2015/16.[177]

Education and Health buses

In addition to the buses of commercial operators and those supported by Regional Council, there is a large network of buses serving schools and a much smaller one serving hospitals. The first school bus in the country ran in Waikato on 1 April 1924, allowing local schools near Piopio to be closed.[180] Many companies now run school bus services, including GoBus,[181] Cambridge Travel Lines[182] and Murphy.[183] The Ministry of Education set 1 July 2018 as a date to withdraw ten school buses it considered could be accommodated on public buses.[184] However, that was reduced to a possible two (Cambridge to St Johns and Morrinsville to Sacred Heart) in 2017.[185]

The health buses are mainly funded by the District Health Board and link Waikato Hospital to most of the regions towns and some outside the region, such as Taumarunui.[186]

From February 2017 University of Waikato is using car parking fees to subsidise student fares by 30%[187] and provide new bus links to Tokoroa, Putaruru, Ngāruawāhia, Huntly, Te Kauwhata, Thames, Piopio, Te Kuiti, Otorohanga, Matamata, Coromandel, Whitianga and Whangamata.[188]

Funding

Under the Public Transport Management Act 2008 (which replaced the Transport Services Licensing Act 1989) regional councils can manage bus and ferry services within their regions.[189] Since 2013 this has been under the Public Transport Operating Model.[190] Just over a third of operating costs come from fares.[28]

A Passenger Transport Rate was first levied in Hamilton in 1994. In 1996 it collected $1.033m, in 1997 $1.077m,[191] in 1998 $1.187m, in 1999 $1.275m, $1.278m in 2001,[192] in 2001 $1.453m, in 2002 $1.519m,[193] in 2005 $3,626m,[194] in 2007 $5.503m, and $6.237m in 2008.[195] By 2003 only 3 (Raglan, Te Awamutu and Thames) of 33 routes ran without subsidy.[196] Fare revenue was $3.606m in 2007 and, after a fare increase, $4.178m in 2008.[195] Contracted services cost $2.199m in 1995, $2.255m in 1996,[191] $2.798m in 1997 ($1.902m bus, $0.285m mobility),[197] $3.042m in 1999,[192] and is estimated at about $20m a year in the 2015-2025 Plan.[198]

A Regional Petrol Tax, levied in Hamilton (0.265 cents a litre in 1996),[199] supported public transport from 1992 to 1996.[200] A plan to reintroduce the tax was dropped in 2009,[201] leading to a fare increase and shelving of improvements planned for increased hours, an Eastern Loop and a Rototuna Dial a Ride.[202] The tax was also levied from 1971[203] to 1974.[204]

Hamilton-Auckland train proposals

For a short time, in 2000/2001, Hamilton had a commuter train to Auckland, the Waikato Connection, but its $400,000 pa subsidy was not extended. Proposals were floated in 2007 to re-instate the service, but dropped in a 2011 report.[205] An extension from Pukekohe to Tuakau was proposed, but also shelved.[206] In 2016 the Transport Minister said, when starting work on a parallel section of Waikato Expressway costing over $2bn, "it will be some time before it makes its case economically".[207] A 2017 review identified the lack of a third line in Auckland and, consequently, a journey time of over 2hrs 20mins as obstacles.[208]
