The Link

'The Link' is an other bus route for tourists in Auckland.
All journey probably takes an hour.
Different to City Circuit, this route cost $1.7(NZD), equal to $9.7(HKD).
It could be the cheapest route in city(for whole journey).
Total there are around 20 buses every day.
Every 15 mins has 1 bus arrive stop,
All buses are producted by Volvo (don't know exact model).
It would be via every famous tourist spot.
So just ask the drivers for more information and you can probably travel around Auckland city.
Also, it is a circle route which means you can never take off the bus when you get on it!!!
That's attractive point for me because I used to have a bus card and I can take this bus whenever I want.
A bus card for a week just cost $40 NZD (You can take any bus with this card).
The Volvo buses are the only model that have TV (like Roadshow).
There are some commercials, TV programmes, weather reports and tourist information.
These Volvo are as powerful as the 'MAN'. 'Cold' air-con. , quiet and comfortable choice for free time entertainment.
A lot of spaces for wheelchair passengers.

They are B7RLE with Voith gearbox

I normally use Auckland Discovery pass to chase buses around Auckland

Did u see many ex-UK or Hong Kong or Singapore buses?
