Buses
Due to now being at home I have been able to count how many times the huge empty buses are going past- 72 times every day !!!!!!! That’s 504 times a week and 26,308 times a year ( less public holidays). This beyond ridiculous - this madness must be stopped!!! What is the electricity costing us ratepayers to power these? Why does my house creak and crack when they thunder past? How is the infrastructure holding up - the roads, roundabouts, bridges, turnarounds, etc? Nelson’s public transport system needs investigating as someone is making some very poor financial decisions with our money…..
Just received an answer to my LGOIA and it would appear that many bridges within Nelson are not built to support these huge buses. For instance, the bridge in Seymour Avenue has a NZTA VDAM rule that axle weight not exceed 8400kg. The new huge buses have an axle weight of 11,800. And they cross this bridge 72 times a day! But it’s ok because the council have granted them a permit…… this is insanity!!! Alex Louverdis - group manager of infrastructure - is the one to question.

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
