Greater Wellington Regional Council
confirmed in today’s council meeting that fares will
continue to be held at current levels.
“This is good
news for bus and train users,” says Chair of the
council’s Sustainable Transport Committee, Cr Barbara
Donaldson.
“Metlink is enjoying unprecedented growth
in patronage across buses and trains. Holding fares will
encourage even more people to use public transport and with
more passengers we will see a positive impact on income,”
adds Cr Donaldson.
If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
