A good summary of the light rail proposal

Professor Tim Hazeldine writes:

Even without the patently loony proposal to dig a long tunnel under Sandringham Rd, we have here a proposed “light” rail project that will cost New Zealand’s three million taxpayers between three and five thousand dollars each. This for the benefit of about 30,000 Auckland commuters, to improve their access to the higher-paid jobs in the CBD, if that’s still what they want to do.

What a summary. Three million of us will pay $5,000 each to fund a project that will benefit 30,000 commuters in Auckland.
