The $261 million Britomart transport centre faces a funding shortfall likely to result in the underground subway linking rail, bus and ferry services being lopped off.
The size of the shortfall will not be known until next month when Infrastructure Auckland and Transfund decide how much they will give the project.
Infrastructure Auckland has indicated it can only fund a maximum of $69.5 million of the $91.5 million sought. And Transfund has indicated to the Auckland City Council not to expect a full grant of $25 million.
