I was interested to read Simon Bridges comments about 'Transport Matters” It is a pity that both he and apparently all the Government don't realise that there are other forms of Transport than Road Transport. What a pity they don't spend most of the $12.3 billion dollars on making a good railway service in New Zealand. Overseas visitors are horrified at the lack of a proper Rail system here. We have one of the worst Rail systems in the world. Also a comment about safer roads. It is not the roads but the drivers that are not driving safely on most of the roads.
