Jingle all the way with MAXX

ARTA Media Release

24 November 2008

Santa Claus is coming to town – Jingle all the way with MAXX

        
On Sunday 30th November, leave the sleigh at home and take the bus, ride the train or cruise the ferry with the family to the 75th annual Auckland Farmers’ Santa Parade: the event, which begins at 2pm, promises to be one of the biggest and most magical in its history.

Additional train services will be operating on all three lines before and after the event.  For those who live in Helensville, Waimauku and Huapai, and for those who live in Pukekohe, there will be special return train services to Britomart.

Normal fares apply on all train services, and families using the train to get to the Santa Parade can take advantage of the special $20 Family Pass (valid for return travel for one adult and five children, or two adults and four children). These can be pre-purchased at the Britomart and Papakura Ticket Offices. Rail passengers are advised to ensure that they have their tickets available for inspection as ticket checks will take place en route to the parade and at Britomart.

Regular bus and ferry services will be operating to the parade. Some bus operators are putting on additional capacity. Normal bus and ferry fares will apply, and group and family passes are available on most services.

Aucklanders on their way to see Santa this Sunday are advised to plan their travel carefully and allow plenty of time for their journey.  Bus passengers should please be advised that due to the parade, some bus stops in the city centre may differ.  Vector upgrade works on the waterfront may also cause traffic delays.

Gordon Campbell: On How Climate Change Threatens Cricket‘s Future

Well that didn’t last long, did it? Mere days after taking on what he called the “awesome responsibility” of being Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon has started blaming everyone else and complaining that he's inherited “economic vandalism on an unprecedented scale” - which is how most of us would describe his own coalition agreements, 100-Day Plan, and backdated $3 billion handout to landlords...

Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More


Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru.
