I raise this as I read Mayor Crosby has suggested Tauranga City Council take control of the city's Empty Bus Company.

The company is set to make an $8m loss this year. It's made a huge loss yearly, for 12 years, amounting to about $60m. This is money they've taken from you and me. They should all be in court for Dereliction of Duty.

Why would TCC want any part of it? The previous TCC spent over $1.5m on it, then gave up.

The NZ Transport Authority will try and force TCC to take this on with The Threat of withholding funding in other areas, I believe.

The arrival of Uber cabs and electric cars will be the final death of the Empty Bus Co. TCC Councillors, please use your intelligence and reject this crazy idea.

K Evans, Tauranga.
