Photo: RNZ / Dom Thomas In 2022, Auckland Council will pilot reduced fares for trains and buses for low-income passengers. To match it, the Victoria University Students Association wants a trial for Wellington, and have formed a petition and penned a letter to Minister of Transport Michael Wood. Association engagement vice-president Grace Carr told Morning Report the minister has yet to respond but hoped to hear from him soon. We ve seen a real need in the community, especially around students and community service cardholders, for free public transport, Carr said. The cost of living in Wellington is ridiculous and we think this is a real tangible way to make a difference in people s lives to alleviate some hardship.

Wave-weary Wellington residents get action on sea ramp but want speed

A digger clearing sand from the stream at Ōwhiro Bay on Tuesday morning. An expert report, commissioned by the council late last year, said removing the ramp was a quick and regret-free fix that could stop waves riding over the road and into homes. The council hadn’t graded the beach so far because it was seeking advice to make sure the fix worked, Wellington City Council spokesman Richard MacLean said last week. He originally said the council planned to move the ramp next summer, but confirmed on Tuesday this had been fast-tracked. “We could have machinery on the beach in about a month,” he said.
