Is our transport system sustainable?
Hello neighbours, My name is Mac Johnson and I am a year 13 student currently attending Rongotai College. For an NCEA level 3 geography assignment we have been assigned the task of conducting geographic research on a contemporary issue that we currently are facing or may face in the future as Wellingtonians, and my research is focused on the transport system and more specifically is it sustainable? And by Sustainable transport I'm meaning the broad subject of transport that is sustainable in the senses of social, environmental and climate impacts. Below i have linked a quick survey to do with this issue, and if you all could take just a little time out of your day to complete it I would be extremely appreciative, and who knows, your response might improve the sustainability of our transport system in the future!
Cheers in Advance.
p.s I've edited so it should be accessible for everyone now, sorry about that everyone!

💨 Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! 🌧️ We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.
In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!
The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! ☀️
Any local hidden spots or activities you’d recommend for a calm Wellington day? Drop them in the comments! 👇
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
