Travel tips

OK it’s time to have fun out and about in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland - what do you need to remember and why?

Fill in the blanks in this table.

What should I remember?Why?
Stay alert and responsive (Kia mauri tū).There are so many distractions when you’re travelling around a city like Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland.
Look after your belongings.It’s easy to leave your stuff behind when you are travelling - every week hundreds of items are left on city buses.
Listen to music at a level where you can still hear what’s going on around you.Music can be very distracting and stops you from paying attention to what is going on around you.
Take your phone.If anything unexpected happens, it’s good to be able to call home or re-plan your journey.
Never walk on train tracks.Most Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland trains are electric and very quiet, you can’t hear them until it’s too late.
Move seats or talk to the bus driver if someone is making you feel uncomfortable.You have just as much right to be on public transport as everyone else and you should feel safe.
Be careful (Kia tūpato) when crossing the road and use a pedestrian crossing if you can.Most pedestrian injuries happen when people cross the road and forget to Stop, Look and Listen (E tū, Titiro, Whakarongo).
