How about it Aotearoa!!Let’s start with a ban on the big ones very soon — they’re polluting the air, driving climate change and endangering the lives of pedestrians and cyclists.Stockholm is banning petrol and diesel cars from centre from 2025 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/11/stockholm-ban-petrol-and-diesel-cars-city-centre-2025-swedish-capital-pollution?CMP=share_btn_tw #nzpol #transport #auckland #wellington #christchurch #dunedin #hamilton #tauranga #nz #newzealand

@nickofnz Not sure banning hybrids running in EV-only mode is such a great idea. Smacks a little of dogma over reality, and it's just another barrier to rural people who want to visit the city.

@vik @nickofnz maybe not such a big issue, if they mean city centre. I'm rural Auckland and I can drive to a car park in Warkworth and catch a bus (okay 2 buses) that get me right into Auckland CBD. It takes a while but I'm a long way out. I can make it faster if I drive to Silverdale and catch just 1 bus. Public transport isn't this good everywhere, especially out west Auckland. But it could be.
