Why is so difficult to build a decent public transport system in this village? Combine those bureaucratic city councils into one and do something. Faster, faster...We've been waiting for 8 years by now. My wife dent a car today. I wish she took the bus. But Auckland's buses are crap (expensive, seldom and their routes are so complicated, that you'd need a PhD)...Trains are getting better but still too slow. More rails in different direction please. And give them some electricity at last...

its more than that, they are strong in NZ, but the other thing to consider is the way of life in NZ and how Auckland grew in the first place. In the past aucklands outer suburbs were actually rural, a car was a must to get to anywhere urban, and now its totally a necessity, you cant get anywhere without one, Public transport never grew because auckland was not meant to grow so big. and we are now screwed, someone has to do something already!!

I live in Vancouver & have lived in Sydney, Copenhagen & Amsterdam. Ive been to most modern cities for work. Im currently coming to the end of my contract in Van & looking at where 2 go next; the main reason I dont want to go back to Akl is public transport. Akl need fast rail on corridors & light rail in downtown areas. Increasing oil prices,drunk drivers, $40 taxis to go out, crazy! Preserve our environment, impress tourists, bring ex-pats home, Have a beer & ride train home; C'mon Auckland!

Great Vid....Funny enough- the one fact you present that suggests Auckland isn't as sprawling as we might think comes from the biggest anti-rail group out there. Demographia (which is where the density survey is from) is run by road and oil lobbyists with an agenda to spread bad information to dissuade us from persuing sustainable land use agendas such as rail or smart growth or density.

i lie in Edinburgh (scotland) which has a very extensive and cheap bus network however the road services were not expanded for them however it has to have a good bus system since it has no room for rail it has 2 rails with one being extended beyond the city and a crappy light rail (tram) line being built

Is the highway construction lobbies strong in New Zealand? is that why SHs get disproportionately higher funding from the government than public transport plans? |
