Image: NZ Herald/ SkyCabsA $560 million rapid transport system called SkyCabs has been mooted as the answer to Tauranga's increasingly congested roads. ''It would be iconic for Tauranga to have something like this,'' the council's transport committee chairman Rick Curach said. Chapman said the eight-seater electric cabs would run on each side of the beam, with economies of scale from the modular construction. The other side of the Mount Maunganui connection to the cruise ship terminal was a 5.1km line via Maunganui Rd and a link to the airport. The shortest line at 3km was Maunganui Rd from Hewletts Rd to Baypark stadium.
