Poll: Is public transport reliable?

Jack Neighbourly Lead from Ponsonby

Hey neighbours! 🏡 It's Jack, your friendly local enthusiast for the occasional evening brew. 🍻 But let's face it, after a night of good times, the real puzzle is figuring out how to get home without reliable public transport, especially with Auckland's less-than-stellar system.

Isn't it a head-scratcher? No wonder folks end up losing their licenses from the drink-driving escapades and continue down a road leading to criminal records – talk about a far worse outcome!

How's the public transport scene in your neck of the woods? 🚍 Share your thoughts! 🗣️
