Why is it so hard to combine biking with public transport in Auckland?

There are plenty of practical ways the city could make multi-modal transport more accessible – but have they all been consigned to the too-hard basket?

I’ve used the southern train into work in Newmarket a few times, but have found most days it’s cheaper taking my electric Leaf, so do that.

Traffic on the southern motorway yesterday was the definition of horrific (2 hrs to Takanini) and I realized I could bike home in that time. The plan is to train in the morning and bike home in the afternoon (down Gt Sth Rd almost the whole way according to Google Maps).

Has anyone had personal experience taking a bike on an Auckland train, especially during peak hours? Ive looked up the AT website and it says ok, subject to space…
