how's this for fail? (see pic)
turns out they missed a spot with the no-park yellow, so people parked there, like any aucklander would... within 6 metres of an intersection/pedestrian crossing, blocking the view for those crossing the road
Oh, and today i saw a bus back into another bus, despite the other bus being in plain sight and blaring his horn. they then blocked queen st (and the bus stop) for a good 10 minutes until i got bored and went elsewhere for entertainment.....

Was that at Britomart?
I was up the road and out of sight, but one of my colleagues-in-pedalling was narrating events on the radio with many chortles.
Or was that yesterday?
It all sort of blurs together in my mind.
If this was another bus-on-bus, then I think someone needs to review their hiring standards for bus drivers.
I personally witnessed a bus take off an open door on a delivery truck on Lower Albert a couple weeks back. Made an almighty bang. No idea where the bus driver's head was at; he drove straight into it.

As a fully fledged peddler, does the ineptitude of Auckland's bus drivers actually surprise you?

it was up the road, across from burgerfuel.
you'd think a professional driver would cease reversing their truck upon the sound of horns/shouts.
heck you'd think he would atleast look

You know the parking on symonds? Are you really sure thats not purposeful, I wouldn't put it past the council to go do a dick move like that, especially with their fuckup with the right turn signals

that right turn light i think is deliberate, as if both went they'd have people having to try and do this thing called "merge"
see, it works kinda like a zip......
