An Auckland father has accused Auckland Transport (AT) of major failures around passenger safety. Rachel Cara, AT group manager, public transport operations, said there are variations in how safety incident data is reported. She said AT’s public transport operators provided prompt updates on major incidents to AT public transport operations teams, including staff in the Auckland Transport Operations Centre and the Auckland Rail Operations Centre. Three women and a man in their early 20s were left fearful of public transport after an unprovoked attack. “This means it is vitally important that Auckland Transport and our public transport partners work closely together and with agencies like police and Auckland Council to proactively manage public transport safety,” Cara said.
