Light Rail Auckland to Airport

Clive from Green Bay

Once Covid is finished then this is a good idea but only when the buses and express coaches are overloaded or uneconomical.
At present it is the economics that is causing problems because it is prohibitively expensive to travel by bus from say Green Bay to the airport for even one person.

Most families are 2 or more people so uber becomes much cheaper and far more convenient. But what about all the fuel we are wasting if we go by car and do not use public transport? Surely this is causing pollution and global warming??
So we need urgently to reduce bus prices to compete against uber rates and fill those buses until its standing room only on the airport run before we invest in a rail link. NOTE The council must reserve the planned rail route for future use but opening it now as a cycleway.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
