Last week Auckland Transport presented its budget for the coming year - with less money in the kitty for what it plans to do.
It has just over one billion to spend on capital projects, 10 per cent down on what was originally planned for in the Regional Land Transport Programme, and with $125 million to be prioritised on flood and storm recovery.
It's been undergoing a restructure, with nearly 150 jobs gone as part of the $32.5 million in savings imposed by Auckland Council.
Last week's board meeting was told "reliability issues continue to erode customer trust and confidence", with satisfaction with the system in May at 23 per cent.
All this as Mayor Wayne Brown continues with his war on road cones, on Monday tweeting the results of his social media polls asking people how they felt about them.
The man in charge of Auckland Transport is Dean Kimpton. He started in April - and has signed up for a fixed term of 18 months.
