Subject: Official Information request - Percentage of public transport
subsided

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi,

 

In the recent RNZ article discussing how the amount of public transport
subsided by Waka Kotahi has changed, the following fact is attributed to
Minister Brown:

 

"In 2017, public transport users contributed 40 percent of the operating
costs, but by 2023 this had dropped to 10 percent."

 

In 2023, half price fares for under-25s was still in effect. As of 2024,
this is no longer in effect. Can Waka Kotahi confirm if the figure is
still 10% even after the removal of half price fares? If not, what is the
new figure?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Dan Moskovitz
