• Peak hourly bus flows across the Tamaki River (Panmure Bridge)of 39 per hour in peak direction, and 16 in the opposite direction
• Thirty thousand vehicles per day removed from Panmure Town Centre, making it more pleasant and easier to walk around
• Twenty-three thousand vehicles per day removed from Pakuranga Road outside the Pakuranga Town Centre
• A 160 per cent increase in walking and cycling in the area, with 11,000 more trips taken by cyclists in the morning peak period
• An estimate of $4 billion added to New Zealand’s GDP by 2030, much because of the improved accessibility to and through Auckland’s east
