I think they want rail between suburbs and cities. Definitely if there was rail direct from Porirua to Lower Hutt a huge amount of people who live in one place would suddenly be willing to work in the other, or vice versa.
They probably would, but that would be ridiculously expensive, as it would require extensive tunnelling.
I've read some of their demands, mostly they want the old level of intercity services restored. Which, as I’ve already said, is currently served quite well by bus services.
Bus services in the regions seem to have really nosedived since covid.
