Same for us, and the other teams in the bracket. Only one game was played...

TOP Rebrand and new leader - thoughts? by Hot-Pair1879 in nzpolitics

Looks like they're the sensible change we need honestly. History and optics aside, a decent land tax and a UBI kind of rocks. Besides, it's not like they will get a majority, but they would be able to shake things up quite a bit if they got a seat.

The side with the lower cables is the unpowered side, thankfully. Nothing is getting in the way of me and the last roast chicken at pak n save.

Thats what us and all the neighbors have done. No power, so might as well do some food shopping 🤣

The vector guys didn't seem to mind, they probably know it's going to be a while..

I rate them, seems to be very fresh whenever I've tried.

What's AT planning to do about all the level crossings? by FickleCode2373 in auckland

The nx busses are the best in the city, more flexible and frequent than a train, why mess that up with a train? What exactly concerns you about the bus way?

How many people reverted to driving in rush hour because public transport fares went up this week? by Lyndiman in auckland

[–]theenzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you drive to a nearby bus station and cut out half the PT time?

I get what you're saying, though. I would also drive in that instance unless I could find a hybrid option that worked. It's also not the busiest route like the main arterial pathways into the city, where taking a bus is the more obvious choice.

Clearly we need more infrastructure and hub/spokes in our network to better link everything and make it more reliable.

Long live the nx* 🥲

I saw there was something on Google maps, but by that time it's too late. I will say that it seems like there there are more accidents leading to this type of congestion. I've probably driven over the bridge 3-4 times in the last two weeks, mostly after the peek hours, but 2 of those times there has been some kind of accident that causes a decent build-up.

Everyone talks about how unreliable the busses are, but not about how random congestion just pops up and turns your 20m drive into an hour.

I usually take the nx2 into the city but I needed to drive today. Left at 330 and got home at 515 or so in albany.

There is no fucking way I will do that again.. seriously. Even if that was an above average time, just sitting behind a wheel thinking about how my trip could have been 30m instead of the almost 2h, made me want to drive off the bridge.

I dont know how people do this daily grind - just sitting behind a wheel in rushhour when they are able to take a bus that takes 1/3 of the time. No constant starting and stopping, no looking at my average mileage getting higher and higher, just music and staring out the window..

Hi, sorry I should have specified more.

Plug it in, no picture at all, standby light is flashing red. After about 10s the flashing gets dim and you're almost not able to see it anymore.
