70% of Auckland train trips to/from two stations

That’s Britomart and Newmarket. I just thought it was an interesting statistic, in the Herald’s coverage of the new “integrated” ticketing system (it works on trains, and also on trains.)

    I was puzzled when I first saw your heading because all of my train trips are to/from two stations: a full 100%

    Then I read the Herald link and saw it was two particular stations: Newmarket and Britomart.
