Commuting to Auckland
Hi Newby here.
Never been to NZ and I'm hoping to jump staight in and apply for immigration.
What areas are nice to live in with good schools and easily accessible to the centre of Auckland for work?
Obviously no one wants to live in a bad area but I don't really want to spend hours sat in traffic every morning either.
Is public transport worth using?
Are there any areas to avoid living in? One reason for leaving UK are Chavs and Asbos.
Will it be the same as commuting to big cities in the UK such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds?
Does any one have any good and bad experiences of living in Auckland area?
Many thanks
Rich
