ffs another fire on the Gully. who left their e-scooter charging again?

Jack Morrison2026-07-13T23:23:05.000Z

haha right? someone's gotta take the blame for the traffic

Reagan Shaw2026-07-13T23:30:05.000Z

just me or does Transmission Gully have more fires than a 4th of July BBQ?

Sam North2026-07-13T23:52:05.000Z

thank god it's open again, I was stuck behind it for 20 mins. poor bugger whose car went up though

RNZ2026-07-14T00:15:05.000Z

bet it was an EV. they're always burning down, but the media never says that do they

Quinn Murphy2026-07-14T00:38:05.000Z

lol cope EV haters, more likely a clapped out ute with a dodgy exhaust

RNZ2026-07-14T01:05:05.000Z

typical response from someone who probably drives a tesla

Alex Rivera2026-07-14T00:31:05.000Z

northbound lanes reopen, southbound still a mess as usual. typical NZTA

Sam North2026-07-14T00:56:05.000Z

yeah nah southbound has been a joke for months, NZTA just collects our rego and laughs

Jack Morrison2026-07-14T00:37:05.000Z

mate I drove past the smoke, could smell it from kilometres away. hope everyone's alright

Alex Rivera2026-07-14T00:57:05.000Z

totally, could smell it from my place. scary stuff

Phoenix Reid2026-07-14T00:49:05.000Z

lucky they reopened quick, that road's a nightmare when it's closed. commute already sucks

Reagan Shaw2026-07-14T01:04:05.000Z

wonder how many dumb trucks with bald tyres cause these fires 🤔
