Time to show off some stuff I've been working on:
Not much to see here, other than a few repaints:
*mumbles something about needing to use the blog more often*

[Ramble]: Some people just can't accept it...
There are always going to be those in life who, no matter how hard you try, will be steadfast, remaining resolute in their opinion that certain things shouldn't be done for example.
I'll start this off with a bit of an FYI: I do not have any family or personal connection myself with any company in this article - with that said, yes I quite like NZ Bus, that's what happens when they were your public transport provider for over a decade. The same can be said for people like Alex Ellis, who are quite fond of Mana/Newlands. I have no issues with people preferring one company over another in this situation.
There is however, one thing I don't like. Consistent bagging of one company for no real reason other than "it's my way or the highway" type of attitude.
And that is what I see in one of my Facebook groups, albeit from only a few people.

Sick of the problems, or sick of hearing about them...
Please note that this is only my opinion, and is not one that reflects any person or company.
58 Cancelled buses... On a Sunday... Dave Armstrong...
The Stuff article in question, which can be viewed here, was posted on a Facebook Group I am part of, regarding Wellington buses. The conversation about it consisted of some people who were rather tired of hearing about the failures of the bus network. And rightly so; the amount of media attention this has had since it's creation is large, and the media, with people like Dave Armstrong with Stuff, or on wellington.scoop.
This is where I come in, with my opinions and all, so brace yourselves!
One person was rather miffed that Tranzurban were being beaten by the media based on one single day, of what I call "Failure".
If we were to read this article knowing nothing about what Commuters have had to put up with over the last nearly 12 Months, we would be wondering as to what all the fuss is about.
But the problem is that we didn't have our blinders on, like the GWRC did and still does.
We were affected first hand, like the drivers, by this new network and it's rollout.
