Auckland Transport is planning modification work on 25 verandas to cater for the buses - which will carry 300-thousand extra passengers a year.
The services are to be rolled out from Lynfield, Blockhouse Bay and the Mt Roskill shops to the city via Dominion Road.
However, the Dominion Road Business Association chairman, Chris Hammonds says they're not supporting the plans.
He says it's a waste of money, and some of the verandas are attached to heritage and earthquake prone buildings, which could cause some damage and liability for ratepayers.
