681229	2008-06-24 10:19:00	So it is going to cost 100 million to set up. Plus the overuns of course. Why don't they make busses & trains FREE instead. ??? Would make more sense to me. But then, I am old & stupid. What would I know. PJ:mad: And get public transport to me as well for free. But there again I do not live north of the Bombay hills thankfully. All I need is a bus or train that leaves about 5:00 am Sun to Fri and comes back around 7:00 pm. I have to use my car as there is not a lot of public transport here. We do have the school bus but it leaves a little late for me and also may be a little early back again.	Sweep (90)

681231	2008-06-24 11:32:00	Hmm. They might need a Test Analyst. Note to self: find out who ends up with the tender. I'd love a bite of that cherry!	johcar (6283)

It is just creating more cost and more complexity, and hardly something NZ can afford at the moment , with NZs current economic problems.	robbyp (2751)
