Quick! Have your say! Greater Wellington wants community views on public transport fares

From Greater Wellington Regional Council website

Public consultation on the Future Fares Review is open and Greater Wellington wants the community’s views on changes to our region’s public transport fares.  

Greater Wellington’s Transport Committee Chair Roger Blakeley says,

“one of our strategic priorities outlined in the Regional Public Transport Plan 2021 is to increase mode shift. The new fare types and potential zoning changes have real potential to encourage people out of their cars and onto public transport.” 

The Future Fares Review proposes increasing the off-peak travel savings and adding off-peak savings on-top of existing discounts for concession holders such as students, Community Services Card holders and accessibility cardholders.  Greater Wellington is also exploring the possibility of children traveling free on weekends when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
