11 Mar 2010 An idea for a lightweight mass public transport network for Auckland that would integrate with some of the existing public transport options. Has some merit – but also some flaws. I hope that they are strong -they look lightweight – I wouldn’t feel that safe in it with Auckland drivers. Please add a comment
If you plan to travel with more than 4 people, hiring a minibus is really a good choice. Hiring a minibus requires comparatively less effort than hiring a car. How many persons can be fitted in a minibus? This is the ultimate question that will come in your mind, if you will think of minibus rental. Well, depending on the size, a minibus can hold 6, 7, 8, or 9 people with a comfortable environment. And if you will compare that to a taxi which at most can hold 4 because one is reserved for the driver. Minibus rental are surprisingly affordable and more convenient. You can have then for your social gatherings, business meetings or any occasion that requires a gathering of more than 4 people. It is normally used for transporting staff to events, conferences, or to work locations at certain times of the year. Also, you will require a special bus driver’s license to drive it if you want to drive; otherwise rental companies provide the one.
Depending on how the business intends to use the vehicle, the hourly charges are calculated. It makes a more economic sense to have a minibus hire because to transport more people in two standard cars, turns out to be an expensive deal. You will also use more fuel by using more vehicles, so the more people you need to transport, the more cost effective a minibus becomes. Most of the time, we have seen ourselves, that people fit well in small vehicles but luggage doesn’t. This is not the case with minibus as luggage space is perfectly available and hence one can travel comfortably. You do not have to worry about anything while moving with a minibus. Minibus rental is the perfect option for transporting medium-sized groups of people.
Minibus rental for your transport needs means:
You can consolidate your rental and fuel costs into the one vehicle. You will have a well-maintained – and therefore safe – vehicle. You can easily transport people in one trip where they need to go. Your vehicle will be repaired or replaced in the unlikely event it breaks down. No hassles will be there as every single detail of your itinerary is looked after with care.
There is variety of luxury models available to choose from. The services too come in varied forms like a private or a business purpose based services. By hiring a minibus you will be assured of ease, fun and efficiency.
To book a luxury minibus, you can easily avail any minibus rental services nearest to your location with the help of Internet facilities. It makes sense commercially too.

Green mps Jeanette Fitzsimons and Keith Locke comment on the government’s half-baked plan for public transport in Auckland. The uncertainty sewn by the government’s re-prioritisation of money into roads means that tenders for important projects will have to be redone, if the projects go ahead at all.
