Goff’s $2.5b rail plan

The Herald reports:

A light rail line from Wynyard Quarter to Dominion Rd costing $1 billion to $1.3b is a top priority for Auckland mayoral candidate Phil Goff.

The Labour MP today announced his transport policy, which includes a plan to bring forward construction of a light rail system on the Auckland isthmus and possibly all the way to the airport.

Which is an extra $1 billion at least so that is $2.5 billion of spending he wants just on light rail.

Yet he says rates will only go up by 2.5%.
