Light rail in Auckland
Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, was served by an extensive tram network network up until the mid-20th century. However, as of 2025, the only remaining light rail lines are heritage tramways. Recently, it has considered reintroducing light rail lines to replace some of its most heavily used bus routes. Many line proposals have involved reusing the routes of Auckland's former tram system.
In 2015 the city's transport agency, Auckland Transport, proposed a new light rail network – with a focus on a line between the Auckland CBD and Auckland Airport. In subsequent years, various technology types and modes were proposed by local and central government – including traditional street tramways and light metro. The most recent plans, proposed by the Sixth Labour Government, would have seen the construction of a hybrid underground/surface route. However, that particular project was cancelled by the Sixth National Government in January 2024.
