| 888775 | 2010-05-30 20:37:00 | Eventually car traffic will (may?) be a thing of the past, with the Onehunga Line being reopened shortly ;) Aucklanders taking buses and trains leaving their cars at home will happen when I see pigs doing touch and goes at Mangere. |

No transport system will ever be the best to all people unless you can provide circle lines. Which in the case of Auckland and its isthmus, it's just not economic to do so. So we're left with a hub and spoke system that the Romans evolved and is still the backbone of most modern transport systems. Auckland's problem is like Los Angeles (seven counties looking for a city) except we've got four cities looking for a CBD. If you live on a arterial note, Auckland is great. Just a bit of planning is all it takes, and these days, I find it faster to bus into the CBD, virtually door to door, with an efficient, modern, clean, air conditioned fleet such as Howick & Eastern.

I would personally favor Mt Albert/ Carrington Road to Airport 1hunga. The Southern motor way comes to a complete halt sometimes. |

| 888780 | 2010-05-30 23:49:00 | IMO, most if not all larger cities have not succeeded with traffic. You can have subway trains, buses, ferries, people like to use their own cars me thinks. I think AKL needs a subway system, it has some ferries already and buses and taxis. Not much you can do except giving people the choice and just put up with traffic. Some may wanna pay high prices and live in the city so they are at least closer to work... which tends to be a trend these days by some what. |

Light rail or trams is the cheaper option. I think Auckland is too spread out for a subway system to be affordable too. Subways work in london an ny, due to the higher density of people. |
