- ‘Upgrade is a good idea, but why don’t keep in the design the classic style that an early XX century cable car deserves? ’
- ‘It would be good if the cable car was part of Wellington’s PT network, but it isn’t. It’s standalone in every respect – fares, timetables, marketing, ticketing – and any connection with the region’s Metlink PT network is entirely coincidental. ’
- ‘As someone who used to commute by cable car to uni every day, let me just say: YUCK. ’

An Alternative History

- For real, compadres. The site of the main Victoria campus was decided by a thousand-pound donation from a major shareholder in the Kelburn Tramway. The cable car opened in 1902, the Hunter Building in 1906, and students have been forking out or sweating it up the hill to class ever since. It could all have been so different. Salient presents… the Victoria University That Might Have Been.
