Let?

I have read over the years that this is the plan, and has been the plan for a long time, but I am not sure where it is or what is holding it up.

That would be some of this ... http://www.opus.co.nz/upperharbourmotorway/

Not sure when the heck they will get?

Have you measured the distance from the port to the airport by sea? 20 min no way! It's over 20km and on a congested waterway. After flying hours and hours to get to godzone do you really fancy a 2 hour canal ride to the city. No,?

Thanks?

And I love all the urban design proposals just for their sheer beauty. Except that the air bridge should be more?

In the meantime, here's a description of Auckland's transportation system by an expert?

RE: Carlaw park. Apart from Trevor, who gives a shit about the rugby.

Lived here long have you?

I would have said RE:Carlow park – the problem is that a bit of the Auckland Domain is required to make that work. Eating an inch of that place is criminal -?

the Kiwi obsession with zero or low cost short term incrementalism as a way of staving off making bowel emptying major decisions.

Yes, all the people who complained that waterfront stadium critics lacked vision — give me some vision on public transport, please.

I know something about boats, and a 35 knot ferry would not be practical within a confined waterway.

Never meant to imply that you could do 35kts door to door. Any ferry would have to go at a lower speed in the more confined areas of the Tamaki estuary, but?

Hmm, zooming along at 60-65kph on water? It's probably not totally practical.... I doubt the craft would be able to hit such speeds in a canal...

This would only require the construction of a smooth(-ish) causeway between the Manukau harbour and the end of the Tamaki river. The hovercraft?

As for hovercrafts, eel-laden or otherwise, they're something of a Finnish speciality. A __pintaliitäjä__?

[A] Tuuli-class attack missile hovercraft with twin 8,000 hp gas turbines would provide coastal supremacy in Greater Auckland... I really want one actually.

Wow, I want one too! We should buy one each and then we can race them.

You may have a point about the fuel?

How about a ferry service from Cornwallis to Helensville, now that's Fitzcarraldo-ey!
In the bad old days you could catch a ferry from Onehunga wharf to New Plymouth – direct.

I'd settle for one from the CBD up the harbour – that would be a mint way to get home?

Although I guess there would be tidal issues ...

But not with a hovercraft :-)

and it drank like a Scotsman. Made a nice noise, though.

Och, as a man of (vaguely) Scots descent, I resemble that remark! (Except the nice noise bit – I have a face made for radio, a voice designed for journalism, and the handwriting of a doctor on P.)

Pt Chev. was well serviced by trams and was the last stop (hence the round-about) at Coyle? Park and the tram line fragments at Western Springs. I heard, it being the last stop, many late night trams (10,00pm!) were missed, so requiring a couch-stop, (ahem).
There are legions of dusty?

A recent example: the Fletcher led council had the plans, support and ? I think ? most of the funding for a light rail service that?

How come you have a picture but the rest of us got a target practice cut out? Hmm?

Glad you asked. We meant to have this capability when we launched System in November, however it's powered by a site called Gravatar.com which ground to a halt under the strain of?
