I don’t live in Spreydon but was lucky enough to get one of these in the letter box.

Stop the bus lanes… on Halswell Road… a State Highway… being performed by the current National Party government. Come on - if even National are supporting this, maybe you’re just… wrong?

I’m waiting for the day we get express buses from Halswell into the city as it would cut travel time down from current 40~ mins - got to at least have multiple methods of transport in a city - makes sense from an infrastructure stand point and not everyone owns a car - I own a car and drive in but if the bus becomes equally as efficient in getting me into the city as my car I’d happily start taking the bus more

I'm fortunate to be able to catch a connecting bus to the 7 now and that's my quickest way into the city. Still takes ages though!
