This is really getting ridiculous. NZ has some of the most toxic public transport politics, where the very provision of any mode other than roads is contested. Five years ago I felt NZ had a basis to revitalise multimodal transport choice; I now worry the damage is irreversible

The government has denied funding to $134m of public transport works in the Wellington region. All improvements scrapped, only a few existing projects retained. This will have broad, damaging implications. For a region with the 2nd highest PT use in Australasia, it's madness.

A reminder that you should be very careful when extrapolating polynomial trend lines beyond the range of the data used in their estimation. I've seen several economists make similar mistakes when forming views on appropriate counterfactuals for upzoning in Auckland, for example.

This is genuinely the worst trend line ever drawn



The best thing about West Auckland is the North Western Motorway

As well as getting way more buses through town, the new Harbour Quays bus route will also result in loads more bus stops, serving more destinations for more people with much more covered shelter than we have now. We will make this happen despite government funding constraints.

A reminder that transport spending in New Zealand is out of control, it's all driven by politicians picking mega-projects, and it's been this way since the 2000s. Governments of all political stripes are to blame. The more important question is who's going to step up and fix it?

Charts in new transport plan show NZTA on track for some hard times ahead. Larger deficit between revenue and spending than what HealthNZ is forecasting - Crown grants look like main solution. That’s money for other capital projects (schools/ hospitals) nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/na…

Boris Johnson apparently had no clue what Brexit actually was until 25 September 2020
