The Loco Loco 'Poll'
As some of us have seen , patronage on Te Huia has dropped below 30 people per day . Some factions are talking of cancelling this service , but I see there is a 'poll' , tellingly with no costings , talking of putting on a 3rd train each day , and extra services on Saturdays and Sundays .
In order to be informed , would they not include basic information ?
Tellingly , there are less buses , because less people travel , mainly due to Covid , but going back to 2019 , there were 18 scheduled buses per day , offering a range of prices and services . So the buses respond to demand , and put on less buses . Why ? Because they need to make money , while still offering a service .
The Loco Loco wants to put on MORE services , because right now they need 4900 people per journey to make money , and they only get 30 . Oh , I know , lets do MORE services . That will work .
And through all this -- WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS . With both or rates and our taxes , we are paying . 200,000 are subsidising 30 people to travel outside the region to work . Madness IMO .

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
51.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
32.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
