Political parties in New Zealand, particularly National and Labour, are showing a lack of enthusiasm for major transport projects in Auckland and Wellington as the election approaches. National has announced plans to scrap the Light Rail project in Auckland and the Let’s Get Wellington Moving project if they win the election. Even Labour, which had previously promised the Wellington project, now seems uncertain about its commitment. Residents in both cities are frustrated with the delays and want to see action on these critical transport plans. While some express support for the projects, others believe it’s time to reevaluate and consider different options. Despite differing opinions, most agree that changes in the transportation system are necessary.
