More to the point roos *can't* move like that. They can't move one foot then the other, only both at the same time.

The red loop is neither one way or alternating half frequency… it’s full frequency both ways, with double frequency south of Newmarket as far as Otahuhu… but they’ve decided to hide that information from the public for some reason.

2.5 hours is an average of about 88km/h. That’s probably what it should be, but not what it would be if they ran it tomorrow.
Any indication on how much budget they’ve allocated to this? Nothing a lazy half billion wouldn’t fix.

Fun thing is you get a different size and shape glass depending on the kind of beer you order. Festbeir in a 1l Krug, Ale in 0.5l, Pils comes in 300ml glasses and if you mistakenly order a Kölsch you’ll only get a mercifully small 200ml serving.

A lot. I heard the opex on the waterview tunnel is $30m a year, so this could be $100m a year?

A few dozen bikes is hardly a failure of public transport, that’s not even one bus load of people. Uni has like 80% PT modeshare!
It’s just that private vehicles take up a lot of space (cars more so obvs).

Yeah the 941 not being frequent is a big gap on the north shore network, 94 was supposed to be the whole way around in the original plan, giving two solid frequent corridors across town.

That’s sorta the idea. A small number of frequent main routes, ideally only one per corridor. Local routes do the coverage. Eg 83 frequent between Smales and takapuna goes direct.
