Last week I had the chance to sit down with Auckland Transport’s new CEO, Dean Kimpton, and ask him some questions and I think there’s a lot of reasons to be optimistic for the future. As Todd Niall at Stuff reported last week, Dean uses the bus himself so hopefully that helps in his understanding. With the various challenges mentioned above, the makeup of how our PT network will almost certainly look different to what it did before Covid. I also pointed out the disconnect between how AT manages pricing for parking and public transport. Some in the media seem to suggest that all AT ever does is build cycleways to steal space from drivers.
