A very strange claim was made in the mayor’s announcement that the council is going against public opinion and reopening the Manners Mall to traffic … well, at least to buses. Defending this decision, even rejoicing in it, Mayor Prendergast said it was necessary “if we want an internationally competitive city that’s easy to get around.”

I don’t believe there’s any link between international competitiveness and the speed of Wellington buses. I have also decided I don’t believe that reopening the Manners Mall to traffic will do anything to improve the experience that people have in Wellington or to make the city more vibrant (more claims made by the mayor).
