When I first started backpacking around Aotearoa in the late 1990s, a walk-on ferry ticket cost about $25. When I booked a walk-on ferry ticket today, it cost over $100. I flew from Kirikiriroa to Ōtautahi a couple of months ago for not much more than that. It's a ridiculous situation.
Tech companies have plenty of bad ideas they say will improve transportation — but the car remains a menace.

"D’abord estimé à 4,5 milliards d’euros, le projet est désormais évalué entre 7 et 8 milliards d’euros, et serait entièrement financé par des fonds publics. (...) La récente publication par la Cour des comptes d’un rapport estimant à 3,8 milliards d’euros la réhabilitation de l’ensemble du réseau fluvial français ravive les débats sur la priorisation des travaux."

Here's an idea.
Instead of spending billions on fancy new roads, the government should actually consider REMOVING some of the big roads from our cities as well as building more bike lanes and public transport.
Throughout the United States – the original car country – there is a growing movement to remove selected sections of motorways from city centres.
It's seen as a way to restore life and vitality and has numerous benefits, including:
✅ Eliminating a physical and psychological barrier that divides city neighborhoods
✅ Opening up land for redevelopment of housing and green space
✅ Providing direct access to city businesses by restoring transport networks friendly for people and bikes instead of just cars
✅ Removing eyesores that take away from a city’s character
