Cope and seethe, lol.

Although the Mt Vic tunnel will also improve public transport through to the eastern suburbs, and light rail to Island bay is still planned.

Tunnels are great. Anything to reduce the over reliance on roads. Roads just fill with more cars. Considering Auckland only has millions plus folk in it. Mist have less car users and it's a horrible driving experience. Keep pumping money into roads and find it doesn't fix any issues.

Public transportation is the way forward. Cheaper and better for the environment if it's executed correctly.

Far too much money is squander as a few get rich while we the tax layers are worse off
