| 1245204 | 2011-11-27 02:05:00 | What I was really getting at there Erayd is the easier you make it to drive the more people will but the trouble with that is it all starts to mushroom...Agreed. ...so in my view it would be better to improve the public transport system...But *why* do you consider improving public transport to be better than improving roads? From a purely economic perspective, the roads seem to make more sense. |

| 1245205 | 2011-11-27 03:31:00 | Just wait til they start selling off ownership of the roading network as well. If they can sell our rail and airlines and power and phone networks, then the roads, the pipes and the sewers are next. Actually, given the huge debt the district councils have taken on our behalf, we may end up defaulting ownership of our pipes, roads and sewers over to the foreigners anyway. Glad to see Brash dip out of politics. It's a job for a younger redneck, although I'd prefer that redneck wasn't Banks. So we've still got John Key the Honkey... The Hon. John Key that is. |

From a purely economic perspective, the roads seem to make more sense. For one thing, what you agreed to above. You improve one road more cars will use it so you then end up having to improve other roads because of that. For another while I'm not a fanatical greenie ( not referring to the party here), each new road usually means a few houses have to go as well as trees and other green areas and is replaced by another stretch of heat soaking tar-seal. The economic perspective could be interesting if you take various things into account, like with more people using public transport there could be fewer road accidents and people may not feel the need to buy a car so there would be a lesser need to import cars. |

If you build it they will come ;) Auckland's rail network especially has come a long way since 1990 (Western Line double tracking, Britomart, improved services and rolling stock, electrification on the way), and hit 10 million annual journeys being reached in July. |
