Fullers Judged Best Public Transport Operator For Cyclists

A cycling advocate says Fullers are the real leaders in integrating cycling into the public transport system. This comes as Fullers are  awarded the NZTA award for ‘Cycle-Friendly Commitment by Business’ (Good that the transport agency gives out this award).

The awards are designed to acknowledge and celebrate some of the most notable achievements in the country that are helping to promote cycling and to create a cycle-friendly environment.

The Awards are devised by  CAN, the national organisation promoting everyday cycling.

Barbara Cuthbert, Deputy Chair, Cycle Action Auckland says Fuller deserves it: “We are so grateful for the profile and practical support that Fullers gives to cycling and integrated transport in every aspect of their ferry operations.

“We have endless stories of the wonderful attitude from the deck crew and office staff towards cyclists which makes using the Fullers services such a joy. They are without doubt leading the way in integrated transport in Auckland.”

The crew’s can-do friendly attitude demonstrated towards cyclists on a daily basis goes unnoticed in a region where too little investment is made in cycling. Bikes travel for free and some ferries in the Fullers’ fleet have recently been upgraded with extra space for bikes. Ferry travel extends our reach throughout the whole region.

“Fullers is also gearing up to carry bikes on their buses, once the Transport Regulations are changed.”
