What do you think of today's transport announcement?
A $6.4 billion plan to fix Wellington's traffic congestion problems has been announced.
The proposal, which will be subject to public consultation, includes about $2.2b for a rapid transit system from the Wellington Railway Station, through Newtown to the airport.
While the type of technology was not yet decided, there will be a second Mt Victoria Tunnel built.
