Roads, rail, cycleways, bus lanes, footpaths... they're all important infrastructure that connect people and help the economy. And yet, here in Aotearoa New Zealand, the needs of the private car get priority.

Imagine hearing:
- We just don't have the population density to make roads work.
- We are too hilly and our roads are too narrow.
- No one wants to travel by road.
Those statements are clearly ridiculous, and yet, they are regularly applied to trains.

Here are three more of the responses we received. From safety to stress free; affordable, productive and sustainable, trains are a great way to get around.
Why do you like to be able to travel by train in Aotearoa New Zealand? What train route would you like to see?
