Tip for wannabe bus spotters: Use AnyTrip.com.au to track a bus with special livery. This bus NB5805 is dolled up for Diwali, running the 24 bus routes.

I tried out this Artificial Engine Sound feature which makes your scooter emit an electronic growl as you scoot around

Te Hā Noa public realm upgrade on Victoria Street West looking great as finishing touches are installed. I love the name which approximately translates to reo pākeha as "to breathe free": the upgrade enabling and inviting people to stop, rest, linger, meet

Thanks to Eke Panuku who has been actually working on this "for ages". I get that it's not his brand, but it would be constructive if the mayor's comms acknowledged EP's work, instead of yet again taking personal credit for a project being progressed by one of his maligned CCOs.

The waterfront belongs to Aucklanders. I've been banging on for ages that we need to restore the area to a place people actually want to go. This morning I visited Wynyard Point where we will be cleaning up the mess, planting natives and returning it to the public.

Apple Maps has launched public beta of a browser version of their app, which until now was only available as a native app on apple devices. Interesting to see a prison (temple?) at the downtown waterfront. beta.maps.apple.com/
