It's not an option because I have a van full of tools, not because of the quality of the service.
I swear, people like you must think everyone in the country works in an office.
Yes, we could certainly improve public transport in Wellington, but as I said, it's simply not an option for many people.
If others are in a bus there's more space for you.
No shit.
I know this is a hard concept to grasp, but there are people out there who are not yourself who, if the option is there, will leave their cars at home meaning the roads are less congested overall.
I never said there weren't. What I did say, using very small words, is that no matter how good public transport is, not everyone can use it.
It's a tough concept to grasp, it would seem.
What kind of an idiotic argument is "not everyone will use it". Who was claiming that every single human being in the city would be using it?
And what I said was not everyone needs to use it to benefit from it because unlike just blowing billions on more roads, it reduces congestion overall instead of adding to it.
Anyway on the tunnel, fantasy at best, Tory grift at worst, probably both
You're arguing a point nobody is denying, you do understand that right?
What, you've done nothing but deny it
When have I said that?
