"I would have liked to know more about the timeframes, what roads will be closed and where there will be parking spots around the city," said Mr Deacon.
Cyclist Matthias Erdrich, 53, said he hadn't seen information on the plans, but they would put him off driving instead of biking to work.
"I live in Avondale and if I want to take my car into the city, I have to go by Great North Road, and it's really jammed in the morning," said Mr Erdrich.
"And if it's getting even worse, I will try to avoid taking the car even more."
Train traveller Cherie Niobel, 44, said she has faith that people would be told what they needed to know in plenty of time.
"I do think that the council is working on that," said Ms Niobel. "I believe it's coming."
According to Jon Reeves, coordinator at the Public Transport Users Association (PTUA), the constructions' impact on traffic and public transport is a necessary evil.
Mr Reeves said it will make the rail network function better, cutting up to 12 minutes of transport time for commuters going from New Lynn to Britomart.
"There's no easy way around it when undertaking such large infrastructure projects. We have to live with it," he said.
However, Mr Reeves believed there has been plenty of information distributed about the upcoming changes to those affected.
"My office is on Albert Street so I will be affected by the changes, and I think we've had plenty of information from Auckland Transport, reminding everyone of the upcoming changes."
The first phase of bus shifts will begin on October 18, and by May no buses will go through Albert Street. Auckland Transport are creating 2kms of 24-hour bus lanes in the CBD to keep traffic moving.
