Take the Bus?

John from South New Brighton

Having seen the recent article about bus use, I was curious to see whether using the bus would be viable for me to get to work, as opposed to using my car.

Using the metro planner, I found that I would need to take 2 buses. To get to work by 8am, I would need to board the first bus at 5.56am. That's more than 2 hours!

The complete trip by car takes 20 minutes which, ironically, is the amount of time I would need to spend walking to/from bus stops.

So, there you go... That's why I don't use the bus.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
