One council member believes Auckland Council needs to rethink its plan to slash transport emissions by 2030.

The council aims to halve car use, encourage a 13-fold increase in cycling, and increase public transport trips from 100 million a year pre-Covid to 550 million.

Auckland Councillor Daniel Newman says these ideas need to be shelved in favour of something more realistic.

"What we have is a multi-billion dollar price tag for investment in public transport infrastructure, for the reallocation of our road corridors for cycleways, for the kind of intensive urban design planning that would be necessary to give effect to that - much of this is unfunded."
