Aucklanders have flocked back to public transport since the Government's half-price fare initiative started this month.
Figures from Auckland Transport show in the previous and first full weeks around the introduction of half-price fares on April 1, the number of bus, ferry and train journeys rose by 24 per cent.
In the week of March 21-27, 802,593 public transport journeys took place. In the week from April 4-10, the number rose to 993,722.
The figures represent a 6 per cent increase in pre-Covid public transport numbers, from 51.8 per cent to 57.8 per cent.
An AT spokeswoman said the significant increase across the AT Metro network was fantastic to see. Last Thursday was the busiest day with 175,774 passenger trips.
