Auckland NZ was using diesel trains until 2015

  Wellington has been electric for decades hasn't it? I think they even used to have electric buses running on overhead wires.

    In Wellington our commuter trains have always been electric. Auckland has finally caught up :) We still have electric trolley buses, but sadly their days are numbered. Apparently keeping up the overhead electric infrastructure is too expensive.

  Pretty sure we still are as I recently saw some down at at the port. We love to point out that Auckland is actually ahead as we have the most x per capita. A Reddit thread on this phenomenon recently concluded that Auckland has the most per capita per capita.
