Background information
Equal opportunities and citizens rights to choose a mode of transport were effectively ignored by the Golden Mile Plan. The Greater Wellington Regional Council is equally to blame for funding the bus-only lane in Manners Street banning all other transport modes except pedestrians. When bus-priority was given, other transport modes like cyclist and pedestrians were victimized. The road being a ratepayers resource should be shared equally instead of being monopolized by private bus companies.
