The purpose of Auckland Transport is to help make the land transport system in Auckland effective, efficient, and safe for everyone. You can think of effective as getting where you need to go, efficient as not wasting time or resources, and safe as protecting people from harm. Auckland Transport works to achieve this in the public interest, which means they consider what is best for the community as a whole.
