    • Too many taxis?
      • 22 Jun 2010
      • Capital Times
      • IN 1989 there were 400 taxis in Wellington, and now there are over 1,200. Numbers have exploded since the industry was deregulated in 1989, and many locals, like Petone resident Dave Stonyer, are sick of taxis taking up car spaces in the city.

    • Carbon Neutral Victoria?
      • 19 Jul 2009
      • Salient
      • Rushing to the airport to catch my mid-trimester flight back to the Bay, I was faced with several taxi cab options. Kiwi Cabs, Amalgamated, Harbour City and Combined, “New Zealand’s first carbon neutral certified cab”. As a wannabe greenie, my choice was easy. En route, I asked the guy behind the wheel why Combined took the carbon neutral plunge.

    • Never underestimate a taxi driver
      • 20 Feb 2007
      • Capital Times
      • Think twice before doing a runner on a taxi. The driver could be a black belt in karate, or in Richard Wright’s case a red belt in the Korean martial art hapkido, which focuses on throws, grappling, and joint locks. WELLINGTON artist Alison Jones catches cabs at least twice a week, and is putting together a photography documentary exploring the lives of those who drive her around the city

        • ‘Daran, keen to hear what other options and structures you think the region should consider and what you think would be the best approach. ’
        • ‘Yes, indoubtedly Wellingtonians want change. And they are right. We continually need to be looking at ways in which we can improve how we govern, administer and provide community facilities and services. The community needs confidence that councils are as effective and efficient as possible in what they do. But for all the people who want change how many will plumb for a supercity when they are polled next year? My view is that this will be less than 50% for the simple reason that while many of us want change the majority of people don’t want the more extreme position of a single council to rule us all. Unfortunately a supercity is all that is on offer from the “consultation” recently undertaken by some councils. In a game of smoke and mirrors these councils, led by Fran Wilde, have sought to manipulate the debate to being about just two options – a single tier super city or a two tier super city! Wellingtonians deserve a more sophisticated and fulsome debate on the options for change. We don’t deserve to be railroaded into reform that will effectively take the “local” out of local government. ’
