The council says without sufficient funding, there will be more expensive fares, a 30 percent drop in services, and increased congestion at peak times.

Almost $15,000 has been raised and the donation portal closes midnight tonight! Regardless of what amount overall is reached, every dollar is a huge help towards the ongoing campaign for equal access across the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Thank you all for your support!
It’s the final push to raise $20,000 to share our vision for a more joyous, inclusive, and climate friendly Auckland Harbour Bridge to a wider audience. Your generosity is also going to be matched by an amazing match funder to the value of $1000. givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/h...

This is the Kelmarna Gardens food waste collection bike. Ollie here hauls up to 60kg of commercial kitchen scraps which they compost for use in the gardens. He plans to upgrade it with a braked trailer so he can safely tow up to 120kg.

I biked occasionally before I got my e-cargo bikes. Mostly for recreation. Now I bike every single day, almost 100% replacing car trips.
The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via Treehugger
E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers
They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.
