- Description
Text reads 'The taniwha in the way of Auckland rail tunnel'. Below, at his desk, sits Steven Joyce, Minister of Transport as the 'taniwha'. The Minister of Transport, Steven Joyce, said today that the government does not have the money for the Auckland rail tunnel through the Central Business District - the CBD. Mr Joyce does not believe that the tunnel would bring enough benefit to Auckland. The 3.5km tunnel would cost $2.4bn. The Auckland City Council believes that the tunnel would bring $1.3bn in transport benefits and $3.3bn wider benefits to the CBD, like more businesses. The government's figures are $387m in transport benefits and $305m in wider benefits. Transport benefits would come from having fewer buses. The mayor, Len Brown, made the CBD rail tunnel one of his main election promises to Aucklanders. He will not give up his plan to have a rail tunnel. (ESL News - June 2 2011)
