There are some great events coming up at Baypark, such as the Tauranga Home show in May and the Seriously Good Food Show the following month, but we must be the only city with no public transport to an events centre like this.

The bus just sails by, and there's still no bus stop despite pleas to regional council. When you have paid rates for decades to help build this city and have no car, this is galling. Want $4 million for a cycle trail? No worries. More millions for concrete steps? Okay. But a bus stop? No, that's too hard.

We're not asking for a pyramid here. A taxi from Bayfair is just too dear on top of the show entry price for those on NZ Super. Asking people to leave their vehicle at home to ease congestion is just rubbing salt in a wound.
