ABout bloody time. Don't care how it's funded so long as it happens.

what would really be interesting is if they try to toll bikes might have to get my wet weather gear on

proposed $5 tolls now i am just wondering where the toll booth will be?

[StoneY]

It would be the same system as used in Norf Aucks, number plate technology, billed in mail etc

5 is a bit rich....2 would be fairer, god knows it will recieve the usage
5...another Nat Govt overpriced public service that we already pay for in our taxes

Still, at least its happening at last....only 30 years too late at that

I bet you have to pay electronically. No options.

[Usarka]

And like auckland the revenue collection costs will be higher than the toll :wacko:

they should be taking that increased petrol tax they want to pay for Auckland trains & use that for the road! if the trains cant pay for themselfs maybee they aint such a "good" form of transport!? I shouldnt be expected to pay for roading, a train I'll never use, & agian for roading!

[Hopeful Bastard]

Half an hour off from Levin to Wellington Airport? That all? Shit.. I'd rather take the current option i have now.. What a boring road that would be to drive. These ones are already boring... But Transmission gully.. Shit man! I'd fall asleep while Riding/Driving it
