An expanded ferry network will connect additional coastal communities in Auckland, and in Tauranga provide a connection between the Tauranga CBD and Omokoroa.
Research shows that ferry users create their own unique community on each route; aligning to improved wellbeing, belonging and liveability.
A fully electric network would establish a world-class service experience for consumers and promotes the uptake of efficient public transport (improving wellbeing, liveability and safety), moving away from internal combustion engine carbon emitting vehicle usage.
Modern ferry vessel design demonstrates better functional solutions for vulnerable passengers but also for everyday passengers seeking to carry bikes, scooters, push chairs and pets.
