Auckland Transport say they did a 'pretty good' job over Pink concert weekend

Auckland Transport is giving itself a pass mark, for its handling of the weekend's Pink concerts at Eden Park.

On Friday night, some concert-goers say they were left stranded on platforms because there weren't enough trains heading to the central city.

On Saturday, some were left waiting more than an hour for trains or buses, with some buses leaving before all seats were filled.

AT Public Transport Director Stacey van der Putten told Mike Hosking that extra services were put on to deal with the tens of thousands of people travelling to and from the concerts.

She says she would score their performance as a seven out of ten -- "pretty good" with some room for improvement.
