Every layer and claim needs a visible provenance.

This register expands as the business case develops. Draft evidence is never included in public scenario statistics.

Auckland crossing demand

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, Auckland Harbour Bridge

NZTA reports approximately 170,000 vehicle crossings and 35,000 bus passengers on the bridge each day. These are current context figures, not forecasts produced by this campaign.

Technology benchmark

Doppelmayr TRI-Line specification

The supplier publishes capacity up to 8,000 passengers per hour and direction, speed up to 7 m/s, and cabins for up to 20 passengers. These are maximum system benchmarks, not an achievable capacity claim for the Auckland concept.

Existing transport connections

Auckland Transport network information

AT's current ferry bus connection guide identifies route 801 at Bayswater and routes 806, 807 and 814 around the Devonport peninsula. Network maps are used to identify transfer opportunities at the Northern Busway and downtown.

Campaign model estimate

Current LandXML concept alignment

The approximately 12 km corridor and six possible station areas come from the campaign's present communication model. They are not a selected route and may change as the concept develops.

Project methodology
International precedent

Metro de Medellín integrated transport system

The operator's system register documents aerial cable lines as part of a network that also includes metro, tram and bus modes. It is a precedent for mode integration, not evidence that the same answer will work in Auckland.
