Tangi Utikere: Labour transport spokesperson on Labour's plan to cap public transport fares

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

Labour's hinting it'll reprioritise Roads of National Significance projects in the Land Transport Fund, if elected this year. It's promising to cap public transport fares at $20 a week in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and $10 everywhere else. It says it'll pay for it from the fund, at $65 million a year. National claims the fund's already oversubscribed.  Labour's Tangi Utikere says that's because of National's own projects.  "Even the Government itself has realised that there needs to be a reprioritisation in terms of many of the projects."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
