National Party leader Christopher Luxon says he does support public transport subsidies, after making conflicting comments yesterday.
On Tuesday he told media public transport needed to stand on it's own feet, and that he did not support subsidising it.
On Morning Report on Wednesday, Luxon specified the National Party supported current subsidies, but didn't support slow public transport investments like the Te Huia train from Hamilton to Auckland.
"What I was trying to say yesterday was that what we're not up for is subsidising white elephant public transport projects, like a slow train from Hamilton to Auckland."
Luxon says the party is broadly support of the Government's three-month discount on public transport fares, but doesn't expect the discount to be the main driver of increased use.
