Subject: FUEL CRISIS AND ALL THAT
Interseting commentary from your latest blog.Because of central and local governments past and present inactivity,procrastination,lack of or flawed infrastructure planning,nothing will alter the great NZ dream of owning,driving vehicles. When social welfare unemployed beneficiaries living in the cities and suburbs are able to use taxpayer funds via WINZ to buy, maintain and support private vehicles it is hardly likely that ecouragement to use existing dilapatated rail system and stinky diesel buses will eventuate, bearing in mind that governments including the current socialist dictators in NZ have only political survival as a priority. Ask the question - how many barrels of NZ crude is exported annually yet we import the lower grade- go on ask your Government. Many countries with future planning and foresight are reverting to modern trams and light rail. Yet all we get is the tired old answer that because of this country's topography it is not feasible to have an efficient mass transport system and air travel provides adequate intercity passenger service. Even more laughable is the grinning Greens who at the drop of hat are into using cars, planes and into promoting (as their leader being a major shareholder of the local wind technology is expected to) windmills regardless of the visual pollution many wind farms create. This topic, like climate changes is a current hot topic, emotionally charged, pragmatic views and potentially another method to tax the living daylights out of world taxpayers. Let the battle begin.

Peak oil is already an issue more important than climate change. In Mexico there have been protests about the rise in the price of tortillas because much of the corn is imported from the USA, where increasingly it is being used for biofuels. Have a look at these links.

I agree with Peter about trolleybuses.
Where are the politicians in all this. There is now a lot of empty rhetoric. How many politicians who travelled to Waitangi, travelled by public transport?

Hi Bryan
Thanks for your once-again interesting comments & spleen-venting. Now I couldn't agree with you more re the prevalence of private motoring in the city precint. I'm a keen supporter of the buses and/or walking...after working in Lower Hutt for the past 15 years, the opportunities to use public transport as well as being able to walk to work certainly are a most welcome change to my personal lifestyle!
HOWEVER (there's always one of those, isn't there?) after waiting for an hour last night for a bus that goes my way (Southgate No 22, which didn't arrive), I finally caught a bus that went NEARLY my way (Island Bay No.1) and walked the balance in the rain. Not really much of a problem, but it's interesting to note that at this stage of the city's development, when the focus should be on the use of public transport rather than private motor vehicles, why should the incompetence of a bus company that actually encourages the use of private motor vehicles be permitted to occur? Isn't there an operator in this town that can actually run a bus company successfully?
Yours etc
Bill Wood
