What needs to happen with public transport in this country?

After Labour’s policy announcement yesterday that would see those of in Christchurch pay no more than $20-a-week for public transport, the government's responded with its own idea.

Transport Minister Chris Bishop says the government could take $450 million from its emergency fund to put more buses on during peak periods.

He says if more taxpayer money is going to go into public transport, it should be spent on improving services instead of providing subsidies.

What do you think?
