business as usual for the armourers of the world
Quite. It's probably not 'illegal' or covert trade that's causing most of the problem. No refs, but I recall hearing many years ago that over 80% of the global arms trade was conducted by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (you know, the ones who veto any resolution that might overturn their cosy world while they arm both sides of any conflict).

But didn't the travel times actually suffer for other cars in that T2 trial on Tamaki Drive? - not even rational self-interest, just selfish ideology. More faith-based decision-making from those who voters persist in electing.

as the public has been educated about not driving in bus lanes
Unfortunately, ticketing infringers is no substitute for actually informing people why bus lanes need to be free of cars to work.
Pointing to successful overseas implementations might reassure doubters that this is not them being picked on. Diagrams and videos might help. As would repeating facts like half of *people* using the lanes to travel even if buses are only a fraction of vehicles seen.
Ticketing on its own won't protect the scheme from the lobbying of connected rich folk who think their car has a "right" to go anywhere they want. No suprise it's Remuera Rd and Tamaki Drive that are scenes of greatest resistance.

I'd like to see more stuff like the Alice in Wonderland app and less stuff like Flipbook
But aren't they doing rather different things?
Please do elaborate. I love discussion about interfaces. Digital charcoal, grunts around the fire, the universal raised eyebrow..

I guess they're balancing screen size against weight and battery life.

Kerre, Kerre, Kerre - even keeping it really brief doesn't make it sensible.
A caller to my show this week said if motorists didn't know when the 50m mark kicks in on the bus lanes, why not make the bus lanes 50m shorter?
Only cars turning left and buses could use it.

Such a logical and obvious solution...

Flipboard looks lovely - if you have an iPad
