It appears ministers of the crown just don't understand public transport.

Could this be the beginning of the end for "Big Press"
I, for one, hope so, it's crap.
Oh come on, we all whinge about the MSM. Perhaps this is the rebirth of the Forth Estate.
That would be nice.
Now, what would that look like?. -
Hard News: If wishing made it so ..., in reply to Sacha,
the BCR is appalling
Far from it.Not at all, all it required was a “plug-in” for that 500 million SAP system, not a stand alone system. 98 million is a piss take, unless of course, it is being developed by future directors of our utility companies. then we must accept that is what it “should” cost.
the trains don’t run on time
I’m sure johnkey aspires to be known as “Someone who made the trains run on time"

Auckland’s $98 million public transport ticketing project is in deep trouble
How much???
That is equivalent to almost 100 people on the average wage for their entire working life, the BCR is appalling.Labour’s transport spokesman, Phil Twyford, blames the “shambles” on Government interference that let the company work on the scheme despite failing to win the main contract.
“It was the National Government that insisted Snapper be allowed to roll out their card in Auckland well before the implementation of the integrated system,”
“That has led to the delays that are costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars every month."And that’s not all folks…
Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee, who has previously indicated NZ Bus could lose at least $70 million in annual subsidies from the Government and Auckland ratepayers if it fails to install compliant machines by November 30, would not comment.
Way to fuck up Public Transport, Transport Minister my ass.

It speaks volumes to me that the focus is on getting people off benefits, not on getting them into employment
Yup, National, treating the symptoms, ignoring the causes.
National, Spreading the wealth, amongst themselves. -
Through such unfortunate ignorance, too much abuse is hurled
Against miners, workers and related industries who strive to build the worldWhat is wrong with this sentence?
a. It’s not a sentence.
b. It rolls of the tongue like a shard of glass.
c. Miners and related industries do not build, they destroy the world.
d. It lumps workers in with the exploiters.
This woman is worth her weight in slag.eta.
I just had the unfortunate experience of reading that "poem" out loud to someone.
It is total bollox.
Like an Orange Doorhinge. -

See, simple make-do. Can double-brown beer cans be used to increase internet speed?
Those big dogfood cans, 100mm dia, are perfect for making a Cantena to improve wifi gain.
