‘Pushing the rates burden north’: Invercargill city councillors debate bus fares

Public transport fares could be set for a shake-up in Invercargill on the back of a Government decision to withdraw subsidies.

On Wednesday, city councillors discussed their response to the Government’s announcement it would no longer fund free public transport for users under 13, or half price fares for those under 25.

The changes are set to take effect from the start of next month, and in the case of Invercargill, leave a $95,000 hole.
