Lucky enough to get down to Te Waihorotiu this afternoon to see the City Rail Link train test. Trains coming & going every couple of minutes, going to be a busy place later this year.

Interested in how to get public transport that works, even in traffic-heavy suburban cities? My book lays out the ins and outs of transit planning, with theory and practice grounded in years of experience on what works. Now available in print and eBook formats: www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0GRPZ4VHD/

It's kinda crazy to remember that the mass protests today got their start (and name) from a tweet about congestion pricing

Great thread about development of Australian suburban rail systems. Wellington closely followed in 1938, but then NZ stalled until Auckland electrified in 2014.

Started off 5 years ago this week with a lockdown challenge to ride every street within 3km of my house. Kept going in subsequent lockdowns, adding 1km at a time. Now have ridden every* street within 18km of my house, which covers 46% of roads in the Auckland region!
