1418750	2016-04-07 22:15:00	Why the obsession with trams, light rail & trains. Im sure its mainly trainspotters & those with small boy train obsessions pushing that barrow. They are are huge cost on the taxpayer & ratepayer , and city rail runs at huge losses . Surely a buses are allways a better & far cheaper option ? A bus can still be used even when roads a being resurfaced etc, trams cant. Did no one stop to think there may have been a very good reason that Ak got rid of the trams. Trains, why not go all the way & bring in monorail. I think Springfield has one for sale :)	1101 (13337)

One of the reasons (honestly) was that they held up cars when they stopped to let passengers off. Auckland motorists didn't have any clues even then, me included!!! Ken	kenj (9738)
