I'm genuinely surprised to hear this point of view from Aucklanders. I had convinced myself, as much as I enjoy watching the government spend copious amounts on roading, that the so called 'holiday highway' really was a waste of money, and that rail (well PT in general) in Auckland should be a government spending priority.

I think it's a good thing. :)

1243394 2011-11-14 04:11:00 To be fair, PressF1 probably copped most of the 36% of Aucklanders not in favour of the rail link... pcuser42 (130)
1243395 2011-11-14 04:15:00 All auckands road and rail should be paid for by tolls not the rest of new zealand, works in every other country and theirs roads are generally immaculate Gobe1 (6290)
1243396 2011-11-14 04:20:00 The whole of the Puhoi to Wellsford road is within the so-called Super City area anyway. Auckland keeps making it's own mistakes, like removing trams in 1957 and not persuing Robbie's light rail ideas. Even the bus service now is a poor imitation of what the old Auckland Transport Board used to run. People are getting tired of Brown's continual whining for more Governmant money. Richard (739)

The government will only pay for half of the link, it's up to Auckland to pay for the rest anyway.

Where do you get the idea that the government pays for anything? It is the taxpayer who pays! The politicians are competing with each other to bribe us with our own money.

1243401 2011-11-14 19:12:00 And remember, the rail loop is "designed for vista". ;) R2x1 (4628)
