Car Pool Lane

Marianne from Rangiora

Northern Outlook has written one of the dumbest articles I have read from a supposedly intelligent agency, The NZ Transport Agency. I am not disagreeing with the extra lane, however I completetly fail to see how it will encourage car pooling.........”the lane encourages more efficient use by moving more people in fewer vehicles”
???What? How? People no doubt would like to car pool but if, once you get to Chch and one person works in Ferrymead and the other in Hornby how is one of them going to get to work when the bus time table is crap and expensive? How will the lane know you are car pooling? Did someone who came up with this explanation win their degree in a lottery?
