Electrifying situation

I ride my congestion-easing scooter along with other two-wheeled commuters up Symonds St in Auckland daily, enveloped in clouds of diesel fumes belched from wheezing buses, most of which are half empty, wondering why more isn’t being done (“Moving with the times”, February 8).

For all the Government’s supposed action on climate change and councils’ woke box-ticking climate emergency declarations, the fact that just four of Auckland’s 1300 public buses are electric is a joke. The council is not committed to having a low-emissions fleet until 2040.

It feels like the public are guilted into inconvenient minor emissions
