Auckland's light rail project has been officially scrapped.
Transport Minister, Simeon Brown, yesterday announced the cancellation of the project as part of the Government's 100-day plan, saying the price was unsustainable, with costs ballooning to between $15-30 billion.

Work on the project, which would have linked parts of the central city to the airport, has been paused since November.
Transport Minister, Simeon Brown, told Ben Strang the coalition government would prefer to put its money elsewhere, like the City Rail Link, the Eastern busway and the northwestern rapid transit corridor.
