A transport group's pinpointed a route in Auckland where it would like to build a cable car system.

Doppelmayr New Zealand shortlisted 20 sites last year and has now chosen an eight-stop arterial route from Auckland Airport to Botany. 

It would connect with Puhinui Station, and integrate with Airport transport infrastructure. 

CEO Garreth Hayman told Mike Hosking that their analysis has shown that cable cars can produce all the benefits of a busway, and even beat it areas such as punctuality and frequency.

He said that they estimate the costs to be around $800 million, which is half of the cost of a busway.
