bLine #1: Public Transport and Young People

Welcome to the first episode of bLine, 95bFM’s new news podcast. bLine aims to bridge the gap between young people and decision makers, through youth-centred interviews focused on youth issues. The upcoming episodes will feature a range of topics affecting young people in our everyday lives, starting off with public transport. 

As one of the largest public transport user groups, it’s important that young people are represented in decision making around the future of public transport developments in the city. One source of feedback that’s popped up recently is the explosion of activity around public transport on social media. In the first episode of bLine we spoke to @lethimdrive, @ifuckinghatethe394, the University of Auckland's Mohsen Mohammadzadeh, and Auckland Transport's Stacey van der Putten.

Happy listening!
