Efeso Collins really does not know there is no such thing as free transport. Taxpayers pay for Gold Card holders “free” joyrides on the Waiheke ferries. Tourists will joyride “free” public transport. The cost to ratepayers will be conservatively four times Efeso’s estimate.
Wayne Brown sees everything as an issue with a rational solution. What is the problem? What are the facts? What the options? Wayne is right. It is logical to spend money to utilize the full potential of the existing roads before spending billions on new projects. No wonder successive governments have used him as a problem solver. It also explains why Wayne clashes with those who think emotionally. Auckland has no shortage of issues for a rational problem solver to fix.
