So in conclusion, it seems like there are strategy’s in place that the Council and other local bodies are involved in, as they try to facilitate Auckland’s growth and provide better transport links. However in reality, it will take many years before we see results. While this is due to limited funding, I think that it is also because the Council and transport agencies should have prioritised better in the past. Creating motorways and highways has only encouraged drivers to use private vehicles. We need to move away from this. Public transport, car-pooling, cycling and walking need to be presented as more appealing and efficient modes of transport. It is these forms of transportation that can help in reducing car use, which will minimise carbon emissions and ultimately create a more sustainable environment for us all.
