New Zealand Auckland Christchurch Wellington

Auckland planned LRT subway Of all New Zealand's transit-bereft cities, Auckland appears to be the most likely to one day gain some sort of transit system. Currently, Auckland's commuter rail is currently in the process of a major upgrade by the Auckland Regional Council. An underground rail link similar to those in Sydney and Melbourne is also being considered, and development of the underground Britomart, a real estate development centered around a transportation hub, is in full swing. Plans for light rail include a line from Boston Road traveling through the central business district to lower Queen St on the Central line and Newmarket. One site mentions more ambitious plans, with a call for an 80 km light rail system.
