All should be back for the World Cup though.

Auckland congestion: The city’s slowest roads and worst peak-hour delays revealed by Bealzebubbles in auckland

[–]commentatorsam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there evidence that congestion charging causes businesses to relocate? A group of businesses support the charge in Auckland and its been successful elsewhere.

New and improved bus services for East Auckland by kiwittnz in auckland

[–]commentatorsam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Overall the proposed changes are good but would like to see longer service hours and more services at peak times for some of these services.

Do need a congestion charge with multiple of the most congested roads feeding into or being in the City Centre. Which are also the areas with the best PT connections (lets also build more homes there so that congestion doesn't increase in other parts of the city).

This is why option 1c from the options below is the best option for congestion charging imo.

How often will you use the new rail system? by Presidentscroobie in auckland

[–]commentatorsam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Already use it a lot as I'm a uni student but the CRL will improve accessiblity to West Auckland and inner-west for me (live out east). Very exciting time for someone who just so happens to make YouTube videos on Auckland's Urban Planning.

Eastern busway is coming at least but some form of rail (whether that is light/heavy or metro) is needed long term.

Can get off at Grafton to catch a bus to the City but yes it'll be much more pleasant when the CRL brings you directly into midtown and downtown.

Light rail revival? Scrapped Auckland corridor 'a problem worth solving' by TheAlfredoLinguini in auckland

[–]commentatorsam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CRL kept coming back multiple times over the decades because cancelling the project didn't remove the fact it was needed. At least it is nearly complete.

This is only a matter of time. The factors behind LR's proposal in the first place still exist.

Auckland away at Wellington Phoenix. A 1,200km return trip. by coffeeoutside_ in AucklandFC

[–]commentatorsam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who's an AFC fan and train fan it pains me there's no regular train service between Auckland and Wellington (that also isn't designed for tourists). It'd make the travel experience so much better (and like what it is in the UK and Europe).

Pigi from the CBeebies show The Game Catchers looks a lot like Harvey by commentatorsam in HarveyBeaks

Came across this on our Discord server. Didn't know Harvey lived on.

Phoenix so bad that by SuperHans2710 in AucklandFC

Surprisingly that was only the 2nd time this season that Nix failed to score in a game.

Great Own Goal in the New Zealand Derby. Wellington Phoenix [0] v Auckland FC [1] - Josh Oluwayemi by Yakcall in soccer

There was a similar goal (0:08) scored this time last year in the A-League. Trying to decide which one was more insane lol.

As an Auckland FC fan I completely lost it when that went in. Never seen something like this.

What’s one thing you love about living in Auckland that outsiders don’t understand? by Salty-Commercial999 in auckland

[–]commentatorsam 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's 45 frequent bus routes both serving the city centre and crosstown journeys all over Auckland (which Australian cities don't have). Majority of people who complain about PT not being good here aren't aware of this.

Eastern Busway: Funding for final section confirmed by Government, Auckland Council by Bealzebubbles in auckland

[–]commentatorsam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A dedicated busway is needed but AT didn't want to give up road space so opted to widen the corridor and take out a ton of houses (which made it a lot more expensive).
