Transportation Etiquette in New Zealand

On public transport and in shared rides, people generally queue calmly, let passengers off first, and keep voices low; on the road, drivers are expected to be patient and to follow lane discipline rather than pushing aggressively. In smaller towns and rural areas, it is normal to rely on cars and long-distance coaches, while in cities you may also see strong cycling culture and practical use of ferries, especially around Auckland and Wellington.
