PUBLIC TRANSPORT FARES
343. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the advice on page 141 of the 2013–14
budget paper No 3 that the government has set a target rate of 40 per cent cost
recovery for public transport fares by 2016–17.
(1) Has the
government done any modelling on how much fares in each zone will need to be
increased to reach this target rate in 2016–17?
(2) If yes to (1), will the minister
table the estimated cash fare for each zone in 2016–17?
(3) If no to (1) or (2), why not?
