Imagine Carless Days For Auckland?

They did little to reduce consumption and were scrapped in May 1980.  But in saying that just maybe the principal behind this could help make Aucklanders lifes a little easier on the highways and byways of the city.  And as far as business is concerned anything that will help with improving productivity has to be looked at.  You would think.

It would have its difficulties for sure, for some the car is an appendage so a day without the car would be just unthinkable! But think of the good it could do.  A great way to meet new people.  Uber drivers would love it, car pooling would become a must do activity, fuel stations could be gathering points  for pick-ups and then throw in the odd Pokemon.  So why shouldn't it work?

As in the 70's you would get to nominate your carless day and for this receive a colourful windscreen sticker.  There would even be "X" for exempt sticker available for those who qualifed.  Campervans and the like you would think.

It is local body election year afterall so maybe it's a platform for one of the Mayoral hopefuls.  Don't think it would have suited Len though.
