<font size="2">The bus is a reasonably good deal - one of the Airbus Express (Airport Bus Service) runs down Symonds street and stops pretty close to the University. Also, to compare apples with apple, an adult fair is $28 return if you do it like that. Bus are also quite frequent. (I've caught this bus a few times). The url for this service is http://www.airbus.co.nz. Also, </font><font size="2"><font size="2">traffic in Auckland can be unpredictable and pretty bad -
if you need to commute anytime near rush hour the bus will be faster as
there are bus lanes for part of the trip.

<br /></font>Last time I took a taxi from near Symonds street to the airport it only cost about $45. Looking at http://www.discounttaxis.co.nz it appears they are offring flat rate pricing of $35-$40 to/from the city - if that rate is correct, its a much better deal then a shuttle, which often stop along the way and waste time. ( I confessed to being biased against shuttles, which strike me as being overpriced for what they do)

<br />> I noticed
that it's ~$80 for a taxi and $35 for a shuttle, each way,
which is a bit expensive. There is a public bus that is $16 though.

<br />> And last year there was an LCA shuttle from the Airport to the general
LCA area. Is something planned for this year as well?
