Thirty-six organisations want free Wellington public transport

From Morning Report, 8:51 am on 6 July 2021

With the cost of living higher than ever, thirty-six organisations are calling for a free public transport trial in Wellington.

In 2022, Auckland Council will pilot reduced fares for trains and buses for low income passengers.

To match it, the Victoria University Students Association wants a trial for Wellington, and have formed a petition and penned a letter to minister of transport Michael Wood.

But so far, there's no response.

Association engagement vice-president Grace Carr spoke to Susie Ferguson.
