Yesterday Auckland Transport admitted that the Eastern Busway has been delayed yet again.
They've blamed a council funding squeeze but the reality is that AT is incapable of delivering on their promises.
We have been promised this for decades and it was finally happening. When it was under threat last year we were assured this would never happen. But frustrating here we are again, another slow down.
We've endured years of disruption from construction, paid more in fuel taxes and put up with dreadful congestion with promise that solution was coming. We now have to wait longer again.
While we've been waiting AT have reduced the plans, cut walking/cycling connections and delayed the delivery.
Meanwhile they've wasted millions on vanity projects like AT Local and the Wynyard Tram which have taken us backwards.
Disgraceful.
I'm furious - for over a decade we've been told that the CCOs aren't accountable to our elected representatives but nothing has been done.
It's clearly not working, it has to change.
