Transport project 'too little, too late' - south Aucklanders

From Morning Report, 7:17 am on 27 April 2018

It's been billed as New Zealand's largest ever civil construction project - but South Aucklanders say a government transport plan doesn't go far enough. Yesterday $28 billion was announced for roads, rail and cycleways across the city over the next decade. For those living out south, the money is being funnelled into improvements on Mill Rd, the electrification of trains to Pukekohe and the widening of the Southern Motorway from Papakura to Drury. RNZ's Jessie Chiang took a drive to Papakura to see what locals thought.
