Auckland Transport has installed CCTV cameras in bus lanes on Queen Street, Hobson Street and Khyber Pass Road. There are already CCTV cameras monitoring enforcement on Fanshawe Street.

Bus lanes are for buses, motorcycles, scooters and cyclists. Other vehicles can enter the bus lane to turn left up to 50 metres before turning. The infringement fee for driving illegally in a bus lane is $150, this fee is set by central government, not Auckland Transport.

What do you think about the changes? Will this change where you drive? Have you been pinged before?

Police are seeking the public's assistance to urgently identify and locate this man who they believe can help with enquiries into an incident where a man was violently stabbed on Pitt Street on Sunday afternoon.

“This was a violent attack where the actions of the offender far outweighed the minor altercation that lead to the attack and he needs to be held to account. We urge anyone who witnessed either incident, or recognises the man in the image to contact police immediately,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Lloyd Schmid.

If you have any information that could help our investigation, please contact the Auckland City Crime Squad on (09) 302- 6557.

Alternatively, information can also be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555-111.
