Talk:Britomart Transport Centre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Auckland spreads a suburban population of 1.2 million over an area rather larger than London" -This is simply not true, while the regional area may cover an area greater than london, the suburban (i.e. urbanised/developed) area of Auckland is much less. The regional area include huge tracts of land in Rodney, Waitakere and South that are farmland, bush or mountains. The urban area of Auckland is less than half that of Sydney for example. Population density of urbanised Auckland is comparable to Mebourne and Sydney.

"making bus and rail services more expensive to implement" -Also not particularly accurate, Auckland pays some of the cheapest subsidies for its bus system in the world, so it is unfair to claim that it is expensive to operate. And certainly expanding the bus and rail networks would be expensive, but this has little to do with the area of Auckland alone. -Nick R. (User:202.27.216.35)

[edit] Disambiguation

I found the redirect to Britomartis confusing, particularly considering that the transport centre seems to be more notable than the character of The Faerie Queene (as can be seen by Google searches), so, I've added a disambiguation page. --Dom 05:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
