...aka the Link bus. Catch this environmentally friendly bus anywhere on the Link circuit and stay on until you get back to where you started from. It takes in Ponsonby, K'road, Victoria Park, Sky Tower, Queen Street, Downtown, Parnell, New Market, Grafton bridge, The University of Auckland and the Town Hall. Bring your Lonely Planet guide book or simply read up on these places online before your ride and you can give yourself an excellent but dirt cheap tour of Auckland central without a cheesy tour guide. The bus announces the location when you arrive and usually provides a little info on each place. If you get off at a stop and then back on you will need to pay another $1.80 but it is comfortable and the bus drivers tend to be friendlier than those on other routes. Make sure you avoid the nightmare of Auckland rush hour though...

Alternatively if you are super cheap there is also a free bus (a red hybrid electric) that runs less frequently but does visit Queen Street, Britomart and Downtown, Albert Park, Symonds Street and the sky tower.
