The government announced their ideal route for the new Auckland city light rail last week. The light rail is intended to connect the Auckland Airport with other parts of the city in order to improve public transport efficency. However, out of the three route options proposed the governments top choice is garnerning criticism from many with regards to it's practicality. The Public Transport Users Association was apart of the inital conversations between the government and the Auckland Light Rail Project as to what would be the best way to link the Auckland Airport with other parts of the city. Emily Bell spoke to the National Coordinator for the Public Transport Users Association about the government's light rail route choice and what other alternatives could be put in place instead.
