Karl Tiefenbacher isn't supporting the triennium plan, in part because of Living Wage.

Catching up after a busy week on @marcdaalder.bsky.social’s work, and this is a real treat. What stands out to me is the patchwork nation is the one where we are worst off economically. Thanks for your explainer, Marc! newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/04/c...

“Transport advocate @connorsharp.bsky.social compiled a decade's worth of business case work [in] an attempt to revive the idea of a cheaper form of surface light rail through the Auckland isthmus.” Fair to say, if not for Connor’s efforts, this crucial route likely *wouldn’t even be on the list* 🤯

Fascinating LGOIMA: Welly bus replacement passengers broken down by snapper category, incl seniors, children, community services card holders, regular adults. Seems the burden of bus replacements are being held mostly by those who have the fewest options. wellyclimatenerd.net/lgoima-bus-r...

Pls pls pls can we have congestion charging first, put the money into public transport for a few years, and see whether the second tunnel is even needed???

I know you wanna know just how many bus replacements there’ve been in Wellington since September 2017. Well I’m the annoying person who is ready and willing to request, then publish, that information wellyclimatenerd.net/lgoima-every...

I tried to finish this one on a constructive note. With a stumbling economy, clean energy and innovation in agriculture are two ways we could really kick-start economic growth. Upping our ambition on climate is clearly a selfishly good thing to do! threesixtysix.news/australia-ha...

Surprise surprise, I don't want more oil and gas exploration. The thing is though, renewables are the cheapest energy you can invest in. I'd much rather we put all our effort into electrifying the economy and saving hundreds of dollars for Kiwi whānau. #nzpol #climate

Yay my friend Rowan has written a lovely guest post for threesixtysix. Take a read! threesixtysix.news/shower-thoug...

I’ve fallen in love with Everybody Eats. They rescue food and provide to anyone who wants a meal. There is no price, you pay what you can. This space represents the dignified, compassionate climate action I want to see for our city ❤️ #wellington #foodwaste #climate threesixtysix.news/everybody-ea...

Bus lanes are a big deal. That’s why it is great that the Harbour Quays are set to get a glow up with bus lanes next year. It’ll make bus trips faster and allow the council to run more services with the same funding. How cool! Take a read and subscribe for free ❤️ threesixtysix.news/the-glow-up-...

Living in the Wellington CBD comes with a unique joy: getting to experience a 15 minute city firsthand. This lifestyle feels like it should be illegal: I can get anything I want within a short walk?! WAY more people should be able to live like this. #wellington threesixtysix.news/a-love-lette...

I was genuinely surprised and annoyed at the proposed budget cuts coming from the Wellington City Council. ~$60m in increases for maintaining our car-focused network and huge cuts to bus lanes, bike lanes, and footpath improvements. Submit on this by April 21! threesixtysix.news/we-must-tell...

Please please please!! Cuba Street is most vibrant when it’s locked off from traffic. Wellingtonians have been talking for years about how much better this part of town would be if it was only for pedestrians. Let’s do it!!

Aotearoa is getting one bus card to rule them all. In fact, soon you’ll be able to pay for public transport with your card, your phone, or if you’re insufferable, your watch 😆 London has this system: it’s magic. I’m so excited. There’s just one thing left to do… threesixtysix.news/motu-move-na...

So I checked about this and the Capital Connection + Te Huia are going to get Motu Move. KiwiRail won’t add it to their services though because they’re “tourism experiences, not inter-regional commuter trains”. Motu Move will be good, but ironically you won’t be able to move across the motu with it.

I walk, bike, and bus along Courtenay place countless times every week. I’m confident a lot of people would agree it needs some zhuzh. I wanna walk inside these renders as soon as possible. Let’s make this real!! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

Beyond ownership: how Mevo helps cars fit into 21st Century travel Owning a car is expensive. But in a world with better buses, we'll still need cars sometimes. How can we solve that problem?

lol someone on LinkedIn accused me of being funded by the “Chinese battery lobby” for saying hydrogen makes less and less sense for transport. Bold of u to assume literally anyone pays for my content, I make it for free because I’m a nerd

Hydrogen's got hype... but is it necessary for a zero carbon future?
