See me talk transport in person

Tomorrow evening I’m giving a public talk about public transport in Auckland, organised by a group called Generation Zero. Here are the details from Facebook:

Unreliable, expensive, slow, inconvenient, useless are just a few of the words that might come to mind when one thinks of public transport in Auckland.

Do you want to better understand why and how things got so bad?
OR are you just plain sick of it and want to do something about it?

Joshua Arbury, Planner and blogger on Auckland transport will shed some light on the history and politics behind our current situation. This will be followed by a facilitated discussion on what we as young people can do to ensure that the transport system of the future is affordable, reliable and sustainable.

Location: Room 3.401, Engineering School, Auckland University
Time: 26 July · 18:30 – 19:30

I’m going to discuss quite a few things, firstly looking back at some key moments in Auckland’s transport history then looking forward to changing transport trends in Auckland, plus where we need to go in the next 10-20 years. As well as looking at necessary funding changes to enable a fundamental shift in our transport system, I will also look at ways we need to change our PT system to make it more efficient and effective: that we can significantly improve PT even within our current funding constraints.

There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion I hope.
