Unlike the comment on reddit saying this won't reduce crashes, I'm going to point out that it's not designed to. Road to zero is about recognising crashes will happen, this move is about reducing the damage when crashes inevitably occur.

Nice.

On the Road to Zero point. The only way to reduce crashes to a near zero quantity is to reduce the number of cars and car trips. Which can only be achieved by providing viable alternatives to driving. Which would ideally be intercity, regional, and city trains that don't just cater to the 9-5 work day commuter.

I would take trains if there were reliable services between cities I want to travel between.

If this happens in my lifetime I'd be stoked.

At minimum I want intercity services on our existing train lines.

I don't want to drive between home in Whangarei and mum/family in Auckland. There already exists a train line, let me pay for tickets.
