Did anyone receive any alerts? Got nothing on my phone or email. I am signed up for their emails and get their Emergency Management stuff regularly but nothing about the current flooding. Also have received phone alerts in the past, but nothing about the current situation. Am very concerned about this.

AT: “At what point do Aucklanders’ vote “No Confidence…”. Warning: Rant

Robin from Botany Downs

So, Aucklanders' have put up with years of nonsense regarding traffic management and public transport. Auckland Transport under the (mis)guidance of NZTA, have:
- constricted major roads with cycleways that few use (and are now having to be redone due to inappropriate design)
- made parking and navigating the CBD nigh on impossible
-put gigantic speed humps everywhere along with centre road barriers to bus stops where buses don’t stop
-spent hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars on an underground rail system that doesn’t appear to have a viable business case
- along with more millions fixing the last vanity project, (John Banks’ ill-conceived and largely useless Britomart)
-increased the cost/decreased frequency of bus, rail and ferry services due to cost and limited demand (which might be because people don’t use them since they're ludicrously inconvenient, expensive and unreliable).
Then there’s petrol levies and yay, totally unnecessary blanket speed limits to add to the mess.
Oh, and there's something Auckland has in common with LA; it's the city of light. In our case, red lights, every 20-100 metres or so.

Now the council is broke and transport, both public and private is in chaos.

Did we have fun going to/from the Chilli concert? How about Elton John, where AT have basically said no trains, limited buses (if they even let you on) and scant public parking. AT suggest people walk to the venue.

Good plan, AT.

At what point do Aucklanders’ vote “No Confidence” in these arrogant, self serving, delusional bureaucrats? What’s the process for that?
Replacing the entire board, management and planning divisions of AT would send an appropriate message to the Council and to the equally clueless NZTA in Wellington. Maybe then we can start to undo the damage and come up with a real plan to get Auckland moving again.
