[Ridiculous Thing #1] Auckland buses got rid of the bike/pushchair
racks. As the Harbour Bridge is part of the motorway you can't
cycle over it and [Ridiculous Thing #2] there's no walkway (unless
you're going $100 bungy jumping). The only public transport across
the harbour is ferry. But then you'd probably have to bike miles to
get where you wanted to on the other side. Especially going from
Auckland City to the North Shore, because [Ridiculous Thing #3]
there are no trains on the North Shore. Passenger trains have done
away with the Guards Van/Card Room/Ping Pong Room (yes,
ping pong - the staff on the south-bound train in the morning played
table tennis as so many of the passengers were schoolkids with
passes they hardly bothered to see if there were any tickets to sell)
