I wake up. I check the Auckland Transport app to see if any trains are running from West Auckland to the CBD. Most are cancelled. The ONE train that is running means I have 25 minutes to shower, get dressed, make my lunch, and get to the train station. Five minutes later, as I race through my morning, it shows up on the app as cancelled. Phew. I can relax. My only option now is to book a taxi on the Auckland Co-Op Taxi app. There aren’t any in my area but there’s one only 25 minutes away. It eventually shows up (it’s rush hour after all). We sit in silence in traffic for over an hour. Luckily I pay only 50% of the normal price, because of my brand new disability.
