I used to holiday frequently in Australia and would discuss with friends or family over there about costs of specific things and would notice how they would deal with things. Sometimes with a bit more flexibility.A good idea
Two Australian states offer free public transport to ease fuel pain
Australians in two states will be able to travel on public transport for free to take pressure off household budgets as fuel costs surge.www.1news.co.nz
One time petrol prices were rising. They pointed out how petrol would be different prices due to the time of day or the side of the road. The side of the round with everyone heading in to work is more expensive. Then it swaps in the evening. Not sure if that is happening this time or has in recent years. But it is different to here which is just increase, increase, increase.
Not traffic related. But there were complaints about movie theatres struggling due to piracy. In NZ we raised the prices so less people pay more. In Australia they were providing cheaper tickets aiming to fill the theatre. This is more an example of a different view to fix an issue.
Politicians and Councillors talk about wanting to encourage public transport use. More people may use naturally due to petrol costs. But doing something like making it free would encourage more people to use it. From there it is up to the transport companies to make sure they can handle the amount of passengers, buses run on time. Basically ensure the experience may encourage people to stick to it.
Sounds like his next business venture. Cologne for lefties. Wiz Musk.Our own Kiwi Musk!
It's been so poorly run in auckland for decades, unfortunately that's a big part of the problem
Thanks to Jared Birchall.
That's a lie
Gee can I call bs on AKL public tspt
As I said in another post if you live in a circle between GI Onehunga Mt Albert and the City it’s pretty good
I stayed in Green Lane for three days up to last Monday and took 22 public tspt bus train and ferry trips
I never waited for than five minutes at Green Lane station for a train north or south.
Bus s ran every 15 mins east west on Green lane Rd.
I used bus train airport to Green Lane easy
Caught Waiheke ferries - there was a glitch there had to wait 15 mins to get to surfdale by bus
So for that part of AKL PTis very good

Tauranga tried free buses for under 18’s over COVID and canned it soon after over violence, antisocial behaviour and in the end the bus drivers refusing to stop at some stops and it got canned.
Tauranga’s free bus fares restricted after bus stop violence
A spate of violence at bus stops in Tauranga has prompted the regional council to restrict free bus fares for under 18 year olds.

Victoria and Tasmania have introduced free pt for one month from Tuesday due to The Ian war derived fuel issue
And a Victoria election soon lol
And a Victoria election soon lol

Have to say I'm a big fan of public transport and around the world it seems to work OK in many countries.
Here, not so much and probably because again, we are a small population in a large area with very little adequate PT between cities/towns that suits our "I want to go anywhere I like right now"
PT is not just about getting from the Burbs into the City

That's only cos you Tories ignore factsNot in this thread
"All parties claim to rely on evidence. The real dividing lines in politics are not about whether you use data, but about what you prioritise, what trade-offs you are willing to make, and what outcomes you consider desirable"That's only cos you Tories ignore facts
Can't you accept your wrong and now look like an idiot.It’s called respectful debate. It’s only politics - nothing important like who starts at fullback next week!
At the end of the day I can agree to disagree with @Damo and head back to the Warriors threads where our views mostly align

‘Fuel stocks have risen since the Government’s last update, with data showing New Zealand has over 50 days’ worth of fuel remaining in each of the three major fuel types as of midnight last Wednesday.’
Costs are up but I don’t think we’re going to have chronic shortages that affect industry.
Great management by the govt and seems the panic and govt blaming was just the usual crisis over everything mob.

Under the previous contract for the ferries that this government cancelled, costing hundreds of millions to New Zealand taxpayers, one ferry would have been here by now, and the other would be here later this year.

Connemara cancellations will impact freight companies -Transport NZ
BlueBridge has extended cancellations with the ferry no longer expected to resume services until at least Tuesday evening.
