I never fail to be surprised by the idiocy that is dreamt up for
Wellington's transport system, whether by the regional council, the city
council, central government, whoever. Since the wanton destruction of the
city's modern, much-upgraded trolley bus system not even two years ago, I
have given up caring and moved out. I only return to go to the airport to
fly to more enlightened places.

Good on Brett for still caring. I wish him well in his hopeless task.
