Yet Another Bus Story in Salient
- Salient
- Wellington City Councillors want public transport to be more affordable for tertiary students. In a submission on Greater Wellington Regional Council’s Public Transport Plan they called for concession fares for students on buses and trains. The goal of the policy is to encourage a rise in the use of public transport. “Patronage has not been growing in recent years, partly as a result of reliability issues and fare increases,” the submission said. VUWSA and Victoria University will both be arguing for concession fares for students in oral submissions on the Plan this week. “VUWSA and Victoria have been calling for affordable public transport for students for years, but the Regional Council hasn’t moved,” VUWSA President Seamus Brady said.
