Car Pool from Howick to City

Martin from Somerville

Hi friends,

With increased pricing on petrol, costs savings initiatives might be a good idea for like-minded neighbors.

I thought of starting a car pool from Howick vicinity to City (Hobson Street). Am looking to have 5 passengers (including myself will be 6).
I drive an 8 seater Highlander.

I have a clean driving record, a safe & carreful driver and I like my car to be clean and free from mess. I'm a dad to 3 kids and wife.

Proposed pickup point is in front of New World Howick around 7:25am.
- travel via Pakuranga Rd to Reeves Rd.
- HWY 1 towards City.
- Drop off will be Hobson Street.
- Travel time takes approx. 25 - 35 mins on normal Hwy traffic.
- Arrive Hobson St approx. 8:00am - 8:05am.

Pls contact me directly if you are interested to car pool. 0212288623.

Thank you.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
