    The "Commute"

    Saw this in the herald:

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=12002272

    Don't any of these "thorough' journalists ever consider a motorcycle? I'm sure even a 125cc scooter would be quicker here.

    "thorough" reporters? (i won't call them journalists)

    ..in the auckland paper?

    what colour is the sky on your planet?

    and really, when it takes 3 of them to write one story, basically about getting to work (which they do each day presumably)... not exactly breaking news innit. that's like the lazy fat kid at school's show'n'tell.

    Yes but less of even a scooter . Its a bike with a engine hence motorbike .

    The sad fact is that Auckland Cuntcil are against motorcycles and refuse to see them as a viable way of reducing congestion. "Journalists" refuse to get on board with the idea and simply regurgitate the party line.

    The good thing is that people still sit in their tin-tops complaining about "traffic". Suckers!

    Why does it matter? Why do you care so much? Just do what you do.

    Those handcuffs will soon turn to lead if your wonderful new PM has her way.

    it's a little disingenuous to not include motorised two wheel traffic

    does anyone who commutes on motorbike that way regularly have any comment?

    In all fairness, the cyclist's shower time should be factored into the equation.

    It's much the same anywhere around the city. Bike is the answer (either pedal or motor) but the retards in cuntcil refuse to see this. Every person OUT of a car is a step in the right direction.

    I keep saying that council needs to stop spending anything on roads. Leave them as they are and let traffic jam solid, as well as hiking up the cost of daily car parking in town.
    At the same time lower the bus/train fares.
    If they want to be real smart, alter the start times of universities.


    I've not noticed any traffic problems and can get around town freely in peak hour traffic...
