What I Submitted on in the RPTP

The missing South Manukau Rail Link that would allow direct train servicesfrom Manukau to Papakura/Pukekohe without a transfer at Puhinui needsto be built by 2016 to enable the roll out of either an All Day or as FrequentService Network. There is "latent" demand for such a South Link that woulddeem the investment economically and socially viable.

Proposals for zone based fares: 4 Zones with Britomart as the central focuspoint.

Propose a maximum fare cap of $15 per day. Family Pass should also be made available Propose the AT-HOP cards have a flat 20% discount High Priority to have the Walters Road (Takanini) Station and Park and Ride

facility built by 2018 with the continued urban development in the area. Close Te Mahia and Takanini Stations (relocated Takanini Station to near

Spartan Road crossing and add Park and Ride) Look at adding a 20 minute frequency bus service between Manurewa, The

Gardens/Totara Heights, Porchester Road and Papakura Town Centre.

Manukau Rail South Link

After lobbying Auckland Council Transport Committee, it has been noted Council isundertaking a (Business Case) study of this link

Despite ATs current view on this (page 61 and 62 of RPTP Hearings Agenda Attachment A, I will await the study before further comment

However this is not helpful

Fares and AT-HOP

Proposals for zone based fares: 4 Zones with Britomart as the centralfocus point.

Propose a maximum fare cap of $15 per day. Family Pass should also be made available Propose the AT-HOP cards have a flat 20% discount

The fares for moving within or between the four zones (single tripcash fare one wayflat feeregardless or adult or child) Within a single Zone: $2 Between two Zones: $3 Between three Zones:$5 Between four Zones: $7 Five or more Zones: four zone fare plus the price of the extra zones travelled to the daily fare

cap of $15 (so travelling six zones would equal $7 + $3 = $10 one way)
