MAXX just the ticket to War of the Worlds

On Friday 28 and Saturday 29 September, Aucklanders heading to Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds can ride with MAXX on the bus, train or ferry to Vector Arena, which is approximately 10 minutes’ walk from Britomart Transport Centre and the Downtown Ferry Terminal.

A regular timetable will be operating for all buses, trains and ferries travelling to Britomart, and normal fares will apply.

The Link bus, which stops on Beach Road close to Vector Arena, is a good way to get to the show. Passengers can catch The Link from various locations around the CBD, Parnell, Newmarket, Karangahape Road and Ponsonby. The cash fare is $1.60 one way.

Fans are advised to allow plenty of time to get to Vector Arena in time for the show.

After the War of the Worlds finishes at approximately 10pm, regular train services from Britomart will be operating until 11.40pm on the Eastern Line and until just after midnight on the Southern and Western Lines. Regular ferry services from Auckland to Devonport will be running until approximately 1am, and NiteRider buses will leave from the Civic and St James between 1am and 3am.

Passengers planning to use public transport to and from the War of the Worlds can get more information from MAXX on (09) 366 6400 or at www.maxx.co.nz
