Free Walking Solution- Hataitai to CBD
- Sarah Free
- Would more people walk to work or school from the Eastern suburbs if they didn’t have to use the dark, crowded, loud and smelly Mt Victoria tunnel?Here’s the idea: can WCC and GWRC work together to give walkers a free trip from one side of the Hataitai bus tunnel to the other?Once the bus system is up and running with a bit of spare capacity, think what a boon that could be for walkers.

Lets get our buses working
- Sarah Free
- Both Councillor Nicola Young (Lambton Ward) and I made independent submissions to Greater Wellington’s draft annual plan in regard to their proposal to raise bus fares yet again. If they go ahead, it will be the second year in a row that there have been bus fare increases; this at a time when bus patronage is […]

Buses – lets get some action on the do-able
- Sarah Free
- I must confess to a feeling of dismay when I heard that Greater Wellington Regional Council had voted in their draft 2014 annual plan to raise bus fares yet again. This is despite continual talk about needing to promote public transport, talk of off-peak reduced fares, free transfers, and reduced youth fares. Wellington bus users […]

I spent a totally frustrating (and dangerous) 10 minutes circling narrow laneways, fruitlessly looking for a car park, witnessing near collisions as cars tried to turn into blind corners, and finally finding a car park at the remotest […]

Handle with Care- the Case for the Wellington Runway Extension
- Sarah Free
- Like many, I was initially enthusiastic about the idea of direct flights from Wellington to somewhere in Asia. After all, who hasn’t arrived back from a long haul flight to Auckland inwardly groaning at the thought of checking through customs, grabbing baggage and having to transfer to the domestic terminal for yet more waiting, before […]

- Sarah Free
- Many have commented recently on the issue of over-zealous car parking wardens in the city, and some have stated a desire to see parking enforcement (and even parking buildings themselves!) bought back under direct Council control.
