Dear Michael Wood,
I'm making this request to you as Minister of Transport.
How much money have Wellingtonians using the train service paid in penalty fees for not snapping off the trains since Snapper was introduced. Please provide the ammounts broken down by train line/service.
How was the decision of a $10 penalty decided?
Has there been any consideration of reducing the penalty fee while train fares have been reduced to half price?
Yours faithfully,
Delia Mason
