Christchurch and Canterbury’s $2 bus fares will become $8 if the Government’s latest transport request is followed to the letter, a regional councillor says.
The NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) asked transport authorities last week to boost private revenue in a bid to reduce central and local government funding of public transport.
Private revenue comes from bus fares, advertising and other avenues such as subsidy arrangements with organisations.
