There were projections the cost could blow out to $30-billion. In six years, not a metre of track has been laid. Heart of the City Chief Executive Viv Beck told Tim Dower there needs to be quick action on the city's transport -- and we need to make sure we've learnt lessons from the ongoing City Rail Link project. She says it's devastating to see a large-scale, long-term project cancelled - but it is pragmatic. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
