At yesterday's policy and resource planning committee, Cr Deaker, co-chairman of the Regional Council-Dunedin City Council passenger transport working party, said on the 1687 trips the Campus Buses had made in June, there had been a total 1846 passengers. That's not much more than one passenger per trip. This service is a waste of money and does nothing for the Environment which the Regional Council talks so much about.
The Campus Bus service should be closed down now.

Dunedin Centre Changes Uneconomic
Calvin Oates has over many years provided some of the best analyses of City Council affairs.
He has now turned his attention to the proposed Dunedin Centre upgrade. Up until now attention has been on the aesthetics of the project, but Calvin looks at the economics and finds that they don't stack up. It will interesting to see how the Council responses to this.
His ODT article is here

Momiji : New Japanese Restaurant
In the weekend we dined at Momiji, the new Japanese Restaurant in town.
We were very impressed: classy decor with Japanese prints on the wall, good service, and well-illustrated menu with lots of dishes that we would like to try. It will take many visits to tick them off our list.
Jizo has been a favorite of mine over many years, but it now has some competition. Jizo is more casual, Momiji more upmarket, so there is room for them both.
Momiji : 282 Moray Place, just up from Countdown 4770307
Licensed, No BYO

A Great Carisbrook Weekend
Great Weather.
Great Rugby.
Tell me again, what is so wrong with Carisbrook that hundreds of millions of ratepayer dollars need to be spent on a new Stadium?
