But in terms of NZ it depends on how much they are willing to spend on it. Auckland only has 1M people and growing, doesn't Melbourne use the tram line instead of overlanders/underground subways. Hiroshima for eg .. uses the trams. Melbourne has a mix of both Trams and heavy rail with an under ground city loop.. |

OK, hands up all those happy to have increased petrol prices, road tolls & rates rises to pay for all this. These will need to be substantial to cover it. All for a 5% reduction in road congestion. Some one has to pay for all this(ie you & me), that seems to continuously get left out of these arguments |

| 1338698 | 2013-04-30 05:11:00 | Wait until they tax the roads in New Plymouth. Go for it but i cant see why i should have to pay for auckland roads. If i visited i would be happy to pay while i used them like Tauranga. Then come back to my idyllic lifestyle in NP and have to wait 20 seconds for the lights to change. No one wants to put the money into the infrastructure but everyone wants it to be better, the system is there they just need to grow some ballz and implement it. |
