Pembroke Street bus stops

What we're doing

We're making upgrades along Pembroke Street to make bus services more accessible and reliable, while also creating a safer space for people walking and biking.

These upgrades include:

• relocating one bus shelter and removing another along Pembroke Street
• upgrading bus stops to in-lane bus stops
• installing two new raised, signalised crossings near to the new bus stops
• installing bus stop bypasses to re-route people on bikes off the road, allowing them to avoid interactions with buses.

Why we're doing it

The bus shelter replacement and in-lane bus stop upgrades will provide a safe, comfortable and convenient place for bus passengers, including those who catch the high-frequency Comet bus service provided by Waikato Regional Council.

The raised, signalised crossings will improve pedestrian safety, making it easier to access the nearby YMCA, supermarket and other amenities.

This project is funded by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s Transport Choices programme and it will help create a connected network across the city, supporting Council’s move to a low emissions transport system in response to climate change.
