Bus Services operated May, 1928.

The route served by the foregoing services is as follows : The Corporation bus services extend over some forty-three miles of route, and in addition run over some seven miles of tram route en route to the outer areas, this being principally at peak-loading periods : between peak-loading periods most of the routes run as feeders to the tram system. The services conducted by private owners and companies run over some forty-nine miles of route not served by trams, and in addition over sixteen miles on which tram-tracks are laid, and over four miles served by Council buses. Buses in the Auckland Metropolitan area therefore run over routes totalling 119 miles. The general equipment and construction of motor-omnibuses is now governed by regulations under the Motor-omnibus Traffic Act, 1926. The inspection of buses is carried out by the Public Works Department, the District Engineer at Auckland being the Inspecting Officer, and the No. 1 Licensing Authority requires his certificate before granting a license for any motor-omnibus. The attached map of the district shows the tramway and bus routes described in this appendix.
