Wellington public transport

Lane Nichols at the Dom Post reports:

Frustrated Wellington rail commuters will benefit from a massive Government investment in public designed to reduce congestion and delays.

The announcement of nearly $900million for public transport projects will buoy proponents of Wellington's costly proposed light-rail system.

Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown immediately called for urgent work to establish a central city light-rail or tram system.

The Government has in fact spent a huge amount on public transport, and rail. I'd be quite keen to see of a tram system in Wellington, but we should make decisions based on the benefits and costs.

I'm a very regular user of Wellington in the CBD and Thorndon areas, and generally they work very well. Would trams be more efficient?
