The $6 billion project to revive a tram network in Auckland was one of Labour's initial election promises in 2017.
After Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's big victory on October 17, the light rail system connecting the airport to Auckland's central city may finally get off the ground.
But Transport Minister Phil Twyford alluded key decisions are still to be made.
Twyford said in June the governing parties could not agree on a preferred proposal and the future of the project would be decided by the new Government following the election.

Lyn and Chris Stevens are happy, active and involved folk in the eastern communities and they’ve been members of the City of Auckland Singers for as long as I can remember.
The mighty chorus, known as the Bruce Murray Singers for 45 years, has a liking for thoughtfully and tunefully reworking popular contemporary songs, as well as the classics.
“We’re working hard to present an enjoyable evening with an eclectic mix of modern songs, such as those by Ed Sheeran and Pink, a medley of 1960s music, a country medley and a range of popular songs and items - something for every taste!” sings Lyn.
The City of Auckland Singers’ concert on October 31 (Halloween) is in the acoustically superb All Saints Church in Howick at 7pm.
And the choir is so looking forward to exercising its beautiful, strong and harmonic talents.
“Like many others, our choir has been affected by Covid-19,” says Lyn.
“We’ve only had one concert this year at Sapphire Ridge in March, fundraising for our choir trip to Italy in June to represent New Zealand at a music festival with 1400 participants.
“Of course this trip was sadly cancelled due to Covid-19. Our other planned concerts were also cancelled.
“We’ve been rehearsing on Zoom which is not ideal, and finally now in level-1 we can meet in person to prepare.”
The City of Auckland Singers play All Saints Church, 17 Selwyn Rd, in Howick, from 7pm on Saturday, October 31. There’ll be raffles, CDs for sale and complimentary supper.
Entry is adults $20, seniors $18, and children free. Door sales (no eftpos). For tickets and enquiries, phone Raewyn on 09 521 4651, or Andrea on 09 537 4403.
The She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor broadcasts on East FM from 3pm to 7pm (NZ time), on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on NZ app Radio Schmadio.

The SPCA is appealing for keen cooks to take part in its annual Cupcake Day fundraiser on November 2.
The event has raised nearly $3.2 million over the years, helping tens of thousands of animals that come through SPCA's doors each year in need of care, shelter and veterinary treatment.
Budding chefs are invited to whip up a batch of cupcakes before selling them at work, school and to family and friends.
Last year saw 1092 home bakers and 641 businesses get involved.
SPCA CEO Andrea Midgen said recent events had taken a big bite out of the charity but here was something tangible supporters could do to help.
Funds raised will be used to aid in rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing animals in need around the country.
