OPINION
I didn't take the bus to school. We always lived near enough to either bike or walk.
If it rained, we got dropped off and picked up, otherwise, me and my brother usually had
to make our own way to school.
This meant getting out of bed at a reasonable time, breakfast, dressed, bags packed and lunches made and out the door.
And more often than not this also usually involved a lot of gentle or not-so-gentle cajoling from our parents.

The cost of one of the Bay of Plenty's largest roading projects has jumped to $262 million and it will be delayed by another year.
The Baypark to Bayfair Project, also known as Baylink or
B2B, on State Highway 2 at Mount Maunganui will see flyovers built bypassing two busy roundabouts.
When the first sod was turned on this phase of the project in 2017, it was expected to cost $120m and be finished by 2020. The most recent estimate pegged the cost at $146m and the completion date in 2022.
