    Use a truck for that. It's the majority of car rides where we're just transporting our own bodies a few km with 500kg of metal along for the ride that is the problem.

    Z Energy might do it hard if all the parents were denied their twice daily school car meetups outside

    Providing state owned rail companies with a monopoly on medium to long-distance transport didn't work very well in the 1980's. High costs, large bureaucracy - a winning combination.

    Just another ignorant posting from our resident Labour shill Panda without an idea or clue (like Cindy's government) of how the real world operates.

    Of course KiwiRail uses diesel engines for their freight trains.

    Four times more fuel efficient, and only need one front cab, engine and driver rather than 100 for the same cargo volume.
