Mayor Demands Action on Integrated Ticketing
Delays
The Mayor is calling for parties
bringing integrated ticketing to Auckland’s public
transport system to assure patrons there will be no further
delays in the introduction of the scheme.
Reports
this morning suggest timelines surrounding the introduction
of integrated ticketing on some bus services may be under
pressure.
“Frankly, Auckland needs fully
integrated ticketing and, for various reasons, has been
waiting for far too long. The time for further excuses has
long passed, now is the time for all the parties involved to
complete this project. That is my very clear expectation,”
says Len Brown.
“Demand for public transport in
Auckland is going through the roof. Initiatives like our new
electric train fleet and integrated ticketing along with
infrastructure like the Central Rail Link play a vital role
in coping with that growing demand and unleashing the
potential of public transport across
Auckland.
“I have not been informed of any delay
at this stage and Auckland Transport has assured me they
remain determined the system will be up and running on
time."
