Tauranga Relies on Private Vehicles More than Any Other New Zealand City Centres

Tauranga residents are no stranger to public transportation. But it appears that locals are more reliant on private vehicles.

The New Zealand Transport Agency released data indicating that 91% of the city’s population use cars to get around. This is a massive difference from the 2% who take the bus, the 3% who use a bike and the 4% who choose to walk.

The dominance of private vehicles in the city is also noticeable as compared to other main centres in New Zealand. The closest is Hamilton at 8%, closely followed by Auckland at 85%. Wellington brings up the rear at 54%.

Multi-awarded car dealer Sheaff Vehicles is no stranger to this information.
