Hi neighbours,

Get ready, there's a new transport option in town! Following the hype around electric scooters, electric mopeds are now hitting the streets. To read more, click here.

Kwikli – a New Zealand-owned e-moped ride-sharing service – have launched in the North Shore suburbs of Takapuna and Devonport and are expected to be rolled out across the Auckland region over the next few months.

It costs $2 to unlock a vehicle (using a phone app) and 35 cents for every minute of riding.

Is this something you'd like to try? Will the moped's help you navigate your city easier? Is hiring a moped a cheaper option for you compared to driving and parking in the city? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below!

Around 1000 ambulance workers to begin strikes today

Ambulance staff work a 12-hour shift pattern that rotates over days, nights and weekends. FIRST Union says the ambulance workers previously received shift recognition payments for night and weekend work, similar to other DHB-related services like nurses. However, St John claims this has been incorporated into the hourly rate. FIRST Union transport logistics and manufacturing divisional secretary Jared Abbott says that explaination doesn't fly. "The starting rate is below $20 an hour, if recognition payments for night and weekend work are factored into this, many ambulance professionals would have to be on below the minimum wage," he said. "To claim that the current rates account for shift recognition is incorrect. New Zealand’s ambulance professionals are amongst the lowest paid in the developed world." Mr Abbott says the first strike notice was served on St John this week for a ban on recalls to events, meaning frontline ambulance staff will not cover work where other staff have been removed from duty to do commercial event work. "Our members feel very strongly about ensuring that patient safety is maintained during any industrial action. "Event work, which is commercial income for St John, often gets priority over frontline services, so by refusing to come off the frontline to cover events actually makes more ambulance officers available for the public service."
