A transport leader says ideology is at play over the decision to not increase car capacity through a second Mount Vic tunnel.A new tunnel is coming to the capital, with the current one being transformed for just walkers and cyclists.Responses to written parliamentary questions estimate 6,000 pedestrians and cyclists will go through each day, compared to 55,000 drivers currently.Transporting New Zealand Chief Executive Nick Leggett told Tim Dower the designers of the project have a view on what should be prioritised.He says they believe any spending on motorised transport is evil and not the direction New Zealand wants to go in.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
