    I swear as someone who has just finished Uni, I am glad to be at least somewhat less inclined to have to go to the city, cause transport fucking sucks, and as someone who hasn't got a car and is still on his learners, the trains being cancelled for most of last year sucked so bad. I had to get up earlier than usual and the 712 fucking sucks. THIS BUS IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I GOTTA WAIT 3 HRS FOR THE NEXT SERVICE CAUSE YOU CANCELLED ALL 3 BUSES THAT WERE EVEN AVAILABLE. I'm usually fine taking the 72's then walking, but if it rains I'm fucked.
    I never even put into perspective how shit and congested the CBD was until I went to Melbourne. How is a city that is larger and more dense got a more fucking walkable city centre that doesn't feel like your gonna choke on cig fumes or have to be diverted by construction on tiny footpaths that take fucking 2 months to finish

      I'm glad that you've finished Uni, you obviously learned about language that I haven't heard since the waterfront days. But no matter about your transport problems, they'll pale into insignificance once Auckland builds it's new stadium that it doesn't need, then the lack of transport infrastructure will be something to complain about. Until then I guess those decision makers will think they're doing a good job. 😒

      @danieleyre8913 - I’d say that if anything Auckland peaked in the ‘90’s . . . The dip began around 2002 ~ 2005 and after that it launched into a nosediving tailspin that I don’t think it will ever pull out of and rise from. Nowadays I just think of Auckland as a ‘Pacific’ city like Suva or Apia (not an ethnic comment, just in regards to the level of dodgy infrastructure and generally lesser degree of development) 🤷‍♂️

Even things like McDonald's ditching it's fun aesthetic for a sterile, housing development style affects things. Roading has been an issue since Key opened the flood gates to foreigners and did nothing to build the infrastructure for it. A bad economy and post COVID job losses have given us more pan handlers at traffic lights, even on the north shore.

    He forgot to say it took him a week to drive to all these places. queen street in the 1980-2010's Friday and Saturday night life was great. I walked down and up queen street at 9:30-10:30, police in groups of 3 everywhere Auckland council security in groups of 3, almost no one, no clubs or bars open very few people no buskers or street performers. but every doorway had a homeless person setup for the night. The Viaduct was the only place hanging on to night life. Everyone must be broke compared to 1980-2010's

    As someone who's lived in Auckland for over 35 years, I agree that in recent years, Auckland has been really screwed up. The Council is taking more of our money away while delivering less service. People of high calibre are leaving the city in droves to the bigger cities in Australia, and they are replaced by less qualified migrants. No one goes to the CBD anymore cos it's too difficult to find a place to park the car, lanes are being reduced to single to make way for buses and bikes, shops are closed down due to constant road closures for the unnecessary underground railway development. The city's unemployment rate is getting higher and inequality gap is getting wider. Not a great formula for prosperity.

      Auckland Transport & Ministry of Transport want everyone to have less inner city parking & less busy roads, less cars in the cbd & no planned parking facilities.
      They want you to take public transport in & around. Sadly, this concept isn't practical for many public users ( disabled, elderly, families with young children ) nor helpful to many retail businesses.

      Fuck all jobs or study places out here most go to central, north or south, as evidence by our choka trains - if they're running but prepare to hug someone and buses - WX1 on the NW you better have your monkey bar skills up to scratch so you can swing about whilst a standee - great workout, and motorway with 4-5 lanes all the way that still gets gridlocked.
      Also don't try cycling or scooting unless u don't mind bottles hurled at you and being shouted at or run over. Nice path along the motorway but good luck getting to it. Surprised there are as many brave souls as there are on there frankly.

    Not to mention the Southern rail line. When it's running taking the train to Puhinui & electric bus to the airport is actually pretty good. Better than the absurd idea of slow light rail right to the airport. But then they close the Southern line for a whole six days over Kings Birthday weekend to do line work. Imagine the outcry if the London Tube closed the Piccadilly Line for six days.
