Is it better than a helicopter?
That is, probably limited to comfort, price, operating costs, and fuel efficiency.

At minimum I want intercity services on our existing train lines.
I don't want to drive between home in Whangarei and mum/family in Auckland. There already exists a train line, let me pay for tickets.
Nice.
On the Road to Zero point. The only way to reduce crashes to a near zero quantity is to reduce the number of cars and car trips. Which can only be achieved by providing viable alternatives to driving. Which would ideally be intercity, regional, and city trains that don't just cater to the 9-5 work day commuter.
oh you've got a private variable that I want to use? No worries, (foo as any)['secret'].
tbh I don't care.
But there's no mention of any sort of time limits on Auckland Council's website about their cemeteries. Only one is an exclusive right prior to burial over use of the plot of 60 years which is intended to allow people to reserve a plot near family members.
But it appears correct to assume a burial has no specific term length and doesn't expire. Disinterment after even 100 years not being a standard procedure. That said, the country is only about 200 years old.
There are places in the world with a standard practice of forever plots.
For example, I don't think it's common in NZ for plots to be a time period before disinterment.
It's an abundant resource curse; land is the resource that is wasted.
I've never been at a voting place with a sausage sizzle.
Then again, I've always worked at a voting place (except this year because children).
Pretty sure it's all the other dropped balls they tried or barely tried to juggle.
Like student dorms, separated by party affiliation? Or current standard Kāinga Ora units?
I just want to add that viable alternatives to driving means that those who don't want to drive, or are unable to drive, or who should not be driving, they then do not have to drive.
The people who scraped through and eventually passed the driving test, but even after a number of years driving are barely competent then don't need to be driving.
When driving isn't necessary for personal mobility, then the licensing and testing can be much stricter, or, as strict as necessary for safety without as much backlash.
