ffs another toll road plan that'll go nowhere. Meanwhile I'm stuck in traffic every morning trying to get to work. Do something useful for once.

been stuck in traffic or just stuck in a mood? 😂

yeah nah they'll just slap tolls on everything and call it 'funding innovation'. classic.

Does anyone actually believe we'll see a single new lane out of this? Feels like a distraction from the potholes in my street.

Bishop says circumstances changed... nah mate you just promised stuff you couldn't deliver. Typical.

Rowan Blake2026-07-19T20:12:50.000Z

somehow it's always the same people who promised everything who end up doing nothing. Shocker.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-19T19:47:50.000Z

what do you expect? They just kick the can down the road until the next election.

It's almost like election promises are worth less than the paper they're written on. Who would've thought?

RNZ2026-07-19T20:04:50.000Z

least it would get me out of the gridlock faster than cycling through council red tape.

Anyone else just tired of the constant back-and-forth on transport? Build something or don't but stop wasting our time.
