The majority of people use private vehicles as their main mode of transportation and while public transport is widely used, bus and train infrastructure within Auckland cannot support such a large population. Other modes of transport are also used such as the ferry and more recently, car pooling has become popular. Cycling and walking are also used as forms of transportation in Auckland. 

Each of these modes of transport will be discussed further in later posts.
